How does it get this bad!

I can tell this must be an older bun who's probably never eaten properly or been examined properly in his or her life, but SERIOUSLY! How do you see this and think everything is totally okay?

:shock::shock::shock: How on earth does a bunny get in that state??? Surely someone would notice the white things coming out of its mouth:?:


What is this buns story? How old etc etc?

problem is....the bunny won't have a story!! No one gave a flying f*** about it!
 
One of my buns, Spike, is one of the ones rescued from this horrendous place. I guess that helps you understand my paranoia when my cheeky, adorable buns teeth issues cause him problems again.

By the way,
The bun who's photo you've shown is Wally (named by me as I was at the Rescue when he came in and said he looked like a walrus with those teeth:( ). Wallys story was different from the Wantage/Oxford buns, but still very, very distressing :(

Oh my goodness! That's awful :cry: My Daphne has teeth issues that I've only just noticed :oops: (long story) and I felt awful but compared to poor Wally, her problems are nothing. I'm amazed he could eat at all. :cry:

Does anyone know if Wally's still alive? Is he available for rehoming?
 
thank goodness they are now safe
If love and rab vibes could make them better then they would be

:( Sadly passed away. He was rehomed and put up a very brave fight for life :( Here's a pic of him in happier times... he was such a snuggle bun

I remember Wally:(

I didn't know Kermit had dental problems before you got him. You gave him such a happy life.
 
That pic and story has just made me feel so sick. I have no words that can explain the disgust I feel. :evil:
 
Oh Lord, I am actually blubbing. That's horrific. I hate to think of the poor little mites, it's that they must feel so unloved that really gets me, oh God, here I go again :cry::cry::cry:
