Hi, I have a rescue bun who had an op to have the spurs on his molars trimmed on 18th June 09. About 10 days ago he stopped eating, took him to the vet who examined him and assured me his teeth were fine but had some sores on his cheeks. He had baytril, an injection to stimulate his gut and we were syringe feeding him some green liquid feed (which he hated!!). He was quite poorly and thought we were going to lose him but he surprised us all by bouncing back and eating normally.
Today we noticed that he is taking ages to eat even the tiniest bit of food while throwing his head back almost as if to push the food back. Now I'm taking him back to the vets tomorrow as I suspect its his teeth (even though the vet said it wasnt although this was a locum vet and not my usual). Just wondered if this is a symptom of something else, has anyone else had their bun do this?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
