wet mouth

I have just been grooming Tiki and when I touch her mouth my hand is coming away wet, not soaked but definitely wet. She was making little clicking noises occasionallly while I was grooming her although she stopped when I turned her over to look at her mouth.

She had her teeth checked on the 18th of february and she's a good hay eater with no history of dental problems, she's been reluctant to take food from us since Duke passed but she is definitely eating and she's not off her food or being picky. Is there something wrong with her teeth? Is there any other cause for drooling? Is this actually drooling? Does she need to see a vet today?

It is possible that spurrs have grown since her last checkup. However, if she is still eating and pooping she will be fine to wait until the Vet is open again tomorrow.

Daft question but does she have a bowl or bottle of water? I have panicked a few times and its bevause my silly rabbits dip their whole face in the bowl and get vey wet!

I hope she is ok. xx
 
Some rabbits do grind their teeth when groomed in a 'that feels nice' way. Which could have been the noise.

Drooling is a symptom of teeth issues so worth getting checked out, particularly if it's still wet tomorrow.

I agree though, if that's the only symptom, I would wait and see usual vet rather than an emergency app today.
