Just wondering what the signs are?

Dont worry everybun is okay, i just want to be aware, as i do have two dental bunnies and i do know that any bun can be a dental bun at any time.

Im thinking weightloss, dribbling, not wanting to eat, grinding....

Yeah my Twinkle self harms and gets aggressive and lungy. Then she looks at me searchingly with her big brown eyes as if to say 'it hurts again mummy'. Then i know im off to the vets!!!

This may be totally unhelpful...but all my dental buns have different symptoms.

Abby gets a wet chin, but doesn't go off her food at all.
Dixie stops eating his veg.
Marnie is absolutely normal, then stops eating very suddenly.

I've also had dental buns in the past who chew on nothing.

In addition to what others have mentioned, I also find when one of mine is starting with problems again he puts his paw up to his mouth and also throws his head back slightly sometimes. Other times I get no warning :roll:

My blackie has small dark poo!

His normal hard poo is fine but his cecotropes are really small, very dark not stuck together and very very smelly! :?:?

His back teeth are fine and he has no insisors, his diet consists of excel (fussy ****** wont eat A@P) and lots of hay and veg.

What could this be if anyone knows?:?
Thanks
