Pipkin had a dental today and I've just got him back home. The vet said that they noticed while he was under anaesthetic that his abdomen felt larger than they'd expect so they want me to take him back in a week to check that it has gone down. They said it could possibly be bloat brought on by a slight change in diet with his molar spurs. If it were bloat, surely it wouldn't stay like that until next week without the rabbit being seriously ill in that time.
Are they just being extremely cautious or is there something else it could be?
He's currently running around like normal. He's eaten some dandelion and pellets already, and obviously I'll be keeping an eye on his eating and pooping.
I've got an appointment for next week but really I'd like to minimise the vet trips because I'm worried the stress of that might be part of the cause. One time before he had bloat-y symptoms after going to the vets for his myxi jab, but it only lasted a few hours and then he was fine. He is a bit of a stress-head...
