Post dental foods

Honey goes for a dental on Wednesday, and is getting spayed at the same time.

I need some ideas for foods for her for afterwards. Normally after a spay I would just offer her any favourites, but with the dental too is she better to have soft foods, like baby foods?

She has a spur on her back tooth which is starting to graze her cheek.
 
I would maybe offer a variety of options some soft some not and see what she picks. She will still need fibre in her diet to keep things 'moving'
 
You can make her normal pellet feed soft by soaking it in boiled water.
You can get some Critical Care from the Vet
Then there is always grated carrot :)
 
i just put out all their normal food - i always wait until there's been plenty of hay munching too before the fenugreek crunchies come out:D such a cruel mummeh;)
 
After a dental Peter never used to eat pellets for a couple of days. He had critical care (mixed with organic apple and pear baby food) and water to begin. I tempted him with grated carrot and small cucumber chunks. He also liked his favourite yoghurt drops.
 
:wave: Thanks.

I think I should just stock up on anything I can think of, and then there might be something that she'll eat. If she doesn't want it, I'm sure the other buns will eat it :lol:. I can always make purees with it.

Is it just the plain fruit and veg baby foods that are suitable?
 
When Heather has her dentals she just noms her pellets as usual! Dhocked me the first time she did it, I was all prepared with grated veg and was going to soke the pellets in water to make them soggy for her but she just dived for them as soon as I got them out, she is an odd rabbit :roll:
