Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

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.
I'd say malloclusion
Poor bunny.
I'd want a bunny savvy vet to check on him, fully.
I doubt he could eat properly with a toof like that
This is what I am worried about, he is in my care and I am feel like I am letting him down but they won't let me take him to the vet who will apparently look at him when he goes in for neuter but no date has been set for that yet.
:shock: Who are you fostering for?!?!?!?!?!?
You HAVE to get him to a vet
pawz for thought - I am tired of telling them he needs a vet. I dont know whether to tell them to come and pick him up or not, I just don't know when they are going to bother getting him treated. I just worry what will happen to him if he leaves me now.

Take him and send them the bill!!
Oh poor bunny If it's around £9.91 to get the tooth burred, I'd probably take him and pay myself. Any more than a tenner though and I'd probably send the rescue the bill. I wouldn't want to leave him like that either. Do the rescue know how bad it is? Maybe send them these pics?
Vets!
Yes they took him to the vet when he was picked up and has already had his teeth clipped so they were worse than that!!!!!!!!! He has only been here for about a fortnight. I'm going to email them again with pics.
Oh right. So is that how the vet left him or has that grown back in two weeks?
As long as he can eat properly, its not an emergency :wave:
I'd be less concerned about the tooth sticking out than what the other teeth might be doing that you can't see. Mallocluded teeth tend to either grow outwards and are obviously visible like in your photo, or they grow inwards and can cut into the tongue or cheeks
