As I posted before I found a lump on Mimi's back after her spaying operation.

Took her to the vet tonight and they said it is an abcess, she is booked in tomorrow to have it removed :(

They also weighed her while we there, and says she has lost 200g in the past 3 weeks, checked her teeth and she had spurs...I feel bad for not realisng, I don't know how long she has been like this, and I hate to think she is in pain.

The vet has now removed them, and said that hopefully if she is eating enough hay every day they wont come back.

She has been through so much over the past moonth, spaying, abcess removal tomorrow and now this with her teeth, is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable?

Any spare vibes?
 
Vibes on the way to you.

My bun shadow gets spurs constantly, i only noticed when she stopped eating and had blood round her mouth where she had bit her tongue, they hide the pain too well and i felt awful but there is no way of knowing as i cant see in her mouth to look at the back ones!

I think once they start the teeth always grow in the wrong way and its an ongoing problem. She goes in every two months to get them burred but she still sometimes catches her tongue or cheek and starts dribbling. Cant do anything bout it cept encourage more hay eating and regular check ups.

Hope Mimi gets better soon :)
