Successful Vet Trip- A few Questions too?

Today i took shadow, stripe, sunny , patch and blaze to the vets for there teeth doing. Thanks for all the vibes the other day for them.

The new vets here in the new town I've moved too were fabulous- they wrote everything up for me which is absolutely great.

They were in the the morning and out by afternoon, but i've got two staying in overnight as there is more work to do for them.

Sunny looks happy eating well- he has had his tear ducts flushed and his molars were okay.

Shadow has had his incisors removed- one snapped in removal- does anyone know how long they take to come back?- I'll have to have him in again for this.He also had spurs which were rasped down and tear ducts flushed. They gave painkillers antibiotics and gut stimulants by injection and prescribed baytril.

Does anyone else have injectable pain relief after dentals. My new vets didn't give any take home meds. Said they were not necessary but to bring back if they are not eating.

Stripe was fine thank goodness. One less to worry about.- he had a general healthcheck.

Patch had his tear ducts flushed and is staying overnight at the vets and blaze is in tommorow for incisor removal, tear ducts doing and molar spurs.

I'm keeping them all in overnight. Does anyone else recommend i keep them in longer, or will they be okay to go out again. I don't want to mess about with there temperatures too much as they are generally outdoor buns.

I will be getting recovery food and baytril to give to them all and they have asked to see them back in a week for a check up and then every few weeks or a month at most.

I definately feel this vets have done a good job.

Sounds like they have done a good job, although we usually give metacam for a day or two after a dental, especially after a tooth extraction.

I'm glad you have found a vet you are happy with

Hope so- would you say they will be okay to go out tommorow morning after general or tommorow evening?

I would go for the middle of the day as hopefully it will be a bit warmer then. If you wait until evening it will just be getting colder again :wave:

Thanks alot. I didn't want to keep them in too long - just long enough to recover from the anesthetic. I think that will be right. The weather is due to be 5 degrees tommorow and then 4 degrees c at night, so much better than the below freezing temps we have had.

How are things with you today and the bunny's? Hope all is well

My landlord has said i can have some land to build a shed for the rescue I'm doing. Only thing is I'm not sure best how to compartmentalize it, or how big it should be as a minimum. She has also said i can have a stable when it comes up, but i'm thinking a shed may be better as i can maybe get some heating in it etc for the winter and so on.

I could do 6x4 enclosures in the shed. Not sure if they do sheds big enough for this The horses are out in the field some of the day, but she has said the buns would be fine to have it for the rest of the day and as hopefully they would be being rehomed not staying too long. Although perhaps it would be better to make the enclosures in the shed larger and more accommodating unless buns didn't get rehomed so quickly as expected.
