Dylans at vets tonight - probably tooth probs

Came home from work last night to find Dylan (harlequin mini lop) with a bad runny eye. Cleaned it up and gave him a good check over, he has a strange smell by his mouth so off to the vets we go tonight at 5.30

He's approx 7/8 years old, and never had tooth problems. I hope it's just something caught between his teeth and easily sorted and not an infection or abscess :(
 
Keep thinking positive, hope the little man is ok :)

Lots of bunny vibes coming your way! :)

Please let us know how he gets on x
 
Thanks for your messages.

The new vets were nice, very knowledgable but expensive .. £50 for eye drops, NSAID jab and consult :shock:

The outcome is that Dylan does have a few spurs but not ulceration, no redness etc and vet thinks it maybe eye infection. He had dye put in to check tears etc, all ok, so we have anti-bio eye drops but if not better or gets worse then he is to go back for x-rays as it maybe tooth root problems :(

Dylan is acting his normal self (quiet!) but only nibbling bits and seems in a bit of discomfort orally, this maybe from the check-up?

I'm going to syringe some food into him later just to ward of tum probs.
