Please think of Pip tomorrow U/D 20/07 Teeth check!

My little man is going to be neutered tomorrow! :(

I am going to worry about him so much! I have packed up his lunch for him for when he comes round after the GA! Got to do lots of distracting things tomorrow.

Be a few more hours before I will here anything!! The fee for neutering at my vets is £73 but it is more expensive than some other vets in the area, others charge approx £50. Poor Havana and nawty slasher!!
 
Well he is home safe and sound apart from a sore ear and a being a bit quiet he seems ok! He has been eating, I havent seen him poo or wee yet though!

The vet nurse I saw did say that when they checked his teeth they were growing very quickly and were too long really for his age. :(:(

Am going to cut his pellets back and hopefully we can make it a bit better! Poor boy, wasnt really expecting that as last time they were checked were told they were really good! :?
 
Glad to hear he's come through well and he's eating :thumb:
Lots of pooping vibes for him.
Now, Mr Pip, you must nom lots of hay to keep your teefs down :)
 
Could lack of grass contributed to his teeth not wearing down enough?? I only managed to get a pen yesterday for him to go on the lawn. :?
 
Grass is good but especially the stalky type rather than new growth which can be a tad rich. Hay's the best for teeth wearing. I'm still trying to get my lot to eat the stuff but they're proper dental buns so it seems to hurt them so i'm growing some special stalky grass to try and wean them onto hay :lol:

My biggest fear is him being a dental bun! :cry: My grass is quite soft and green no very stalky. Is it when the grass gets longer is get stalky, if that makes sense?

Might get some more oat hay, trouble is I buy the small oxbow bags and they are nearly £5 per bag and so for a bag or oat and timothy thats like a tenner - dont get me wrong he is totally worth the money and obviously I want him to be healthy just wish it was cheaper! :(
 
Yeah, as it gets older it gets tougher which is better for their teeth. I'm still experimenting with hay at the mo so unfortunately can't advise to any good or cheaper ones, and knowing our lot they'll only like one that has to be picked by virgins on a remote hill top in Peru that costs more per gram than gold :lol:

So glad to hear it went well :) lops are prone to dental problems :( When I first got Castiel he had spurs on his teeth, but they have disappeared now because he gets hardly any pellets and all the hay he can nom. If you cut back on pellets (slowly obviously) he should eat more hay. I don't feed veg until the afternoon so they have all morning to concentrate on hay :)
