post malocclusion operation and he is still dribbling!!

Hi, my rabbit had his operation on some burs he had on the 17th of this month.
He has been having .7 ml of Meta-cam twice a day since then.
He is still dribbling though.
The vet took an x-ray of his jaw and said the roots are fine.
Why is he still dribbling?
Any suggestions as I am sooo worried as I lost a bunny to this a few years ago. (Did not go to a specialist vet like an idiot. Thought they would all offer the same level of care.)
I have goggled this and searched on this forum but cant find any thing.
The vet who did this is a rabbit specialist.
He is going back to the vets tonight but I just need some idea of what to expect.
I am terrified it is going to be an abscess although I cant feel any swelling.
Please give me some ideas!
Will my babbit be o.k.?
Many thanks.
Katherine
 
unfortunately it's not possible to tell exactly what the problem is as dribbling is a symptom of any cause of mouth pain/distortion and without actually looking into the mouth it would just be guesswork to give a diagnosis. I would keep on with the pain relief (metacam) and see if your vet can give you the information you need.
Good luck with your appointment
