Hi there.
In the last couple of months my near two year old rabbit began drooling and progressively going off food.
Eventually, after a lack of eating I saw a vet who informed me of spurs growing on the back teeth. I had them removed for £42, and was told that the process would repeat at least three times a year if not more.
It's only been three weeks and despite being very happy lately, he has begun drooling again, worse than before, and gone off his food. I simply cannot afford to pay such an amount if it's going to happen so frequently.
Is it possible to simply have the molars removed, or would this just stop him eating completely? He's never really been a big fan of hay.
Admittedly, I should've seen a vet sooner, but is there anything I can do? Otherwise I may need to have him put down.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks
