This is what I am doing (hopefully) with Feegal. He is going for a check up tomorrow and that's what got me thinking...
Sorry for your buns

She is
I think what I mean by snubbed is, as your girl shows perfectly, the face ends with a blunt not pointy nose/mouth:?

I've had both lops and up eared buns with dental problems.
Both seem to suffer equally from molar problems.
However I've never had a lop suffer with incisor malocclusion...in fact incisor problems nearly always seem to be Dutches or Nethies or crosses of these two breeds...but this might just be coincidence

eric & esme are nethies. eric has needed a couple of dentals in 12 months but i have his teeth checked regularly and finding his fave hay has helped to keep the spurs down.
esme has had one dental since i adopted her. her teeth were long rather than spurred so i'm not sure what she may need in the future dentistry-wise after her next check up. she's a good hay eater too.

I didn't think of nethies, or I would have put that as an option:roll:
Hope Esme escapes the need for any more dentals

Jasmine is a dental bunny,uppy eared and not flat faced at all.
Shes had 2 dentals since I've had her....3 months apart but has also had her front teeth burred every 2 weeks inbetween.

Just searched for a pic of her she is beautiful
But how strange she is a dental bun:? She doesn't have any of the normal characteristics of a dental bun. Do you know anything about her parentage?

See this is what is getting me confused. Why do some get it and not others? Do you know if Pickles eats more hay? They are
Hoppit!

Awww, thank you! I'm panicking right now cuz they're having their dentals today.
Actually I think they eat about an equal amount of hay, if anything Ginger eats more! They're very annoying though because they only eat it fresh from the packet - anything more than an hour old is treated with great suspition! :roll: They also refused point blank to eat any hay at all until they were about 4, (they're 6 now). I don't know of course whether this made a difference, but it can't have helped the situation.
My little PA is a dutch, so has pointy ears and a slender face. I adopted her from a P@H adoption centre, it didn't take me long to realise she wasn't eating, the vet confirmed spurred molars & she had a dental that day - she went 11 months before needing another & it has so far been 9 months since her last. I am convinced her good diet & love of hay is keeping her dentals to a minimum :wave:

Jester has just recently had a dental. He has crazy ears that go in all directions :lol: but he's more of a lop really. He does have a rounded face too. I'm hoping diet will sort his teeth out and it won't be a regular thing.
