    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Hi All, i have a 7 year old male dwarf lop, always been very fit , last nite and today he seems to have problems eating,when he eats he seems to have to put his head up, and also drops some of his food, i have looked at his teeth and all seems ok, vet booked for monday morning,but does anyone know what it maybe??? maybe somthing to do with the little chaps throat?
many thanks glen
 
The vet will be able to say for certain but it sounds like either teeth problems or a breathing problem.

Personally I would get him checked out for breathing problems ASAP.

I agree with this.

Also, you won't be able to check in his mouth and check his molars yourself unless you have an otoscope and been taught how to use one, so if you've only been able to check his incisors at the front, that won't tell you much about his molars.
 
OMG wow thanks for the very quick reply, the wife and I feel better now, he is breathing ok, he has been running around last nite and today, and as i have read about the back teeth we both did think that, many thanks for all your help , glen .
