Grace had her first vets visit today for check and myxi jab - all went well. However, the vet did say that she has a very stubby nose which may mean she is more likely to have teeth issues?! :shock: Anyone else heard this? Or also have a super cute stubby nosed bun?
 
Aww! I think this can be when they are not a pure bred or when they are a pure bred. :? :oops:
I think it is something to do with the breeding side of it. When we went to Visit Helen (The Duchess) she showed us two od her babies who were tiny tiny and they had extremely stubby noses and as a result they will probably be suseptiable to having dental issues as their mouths are so small but they still ahve the same amount of teeth in them.
 
As above it can mean there isnt space for all the teeth. A good diet, lots of hay can help. I would make sure she gets regular checks so if any problems do arise they can be dealt with before they get too serious

A much better way of putting it instead of all my dribble :oops:
 
Thanks for the replies :) So I just need to keep on eye on her teeth and make sure she eats plenty of hay and has lots of things to chew?? I hope she doesn't have problems bless her.
 
It's always a worry with breeds with squishy faces like lops :( my Castiel has quite a squished face and he had spurs when we got him but they are gone now we just give him a good bunny diet - unlimited hay, pellets and greens
 
The best thing you can do is make sure she eats LOADS of hay!
Keep an eye on her, any decrease in poops, smaller poops, decrease in appetite, going off certain foods (normaly hay or pellets) chewing oddly and dribbling are all signs to get her checked.
