To try and cut a very long story short....
Poppy has dental issues, we went to the vets last week because she seemed to be finding it trickier to eat veg (although still eating fine, I was cutting things up or she was taking ages). My rabbit savvy vet said there were a few spurs at the back which he filed down, he said the front weren't great (the incisors cross slightly at the bottom), but no need for any baytril to control problem at the moment, he said keep an eye and if she's having problems come back and they can x-ray etc to asses extraction (I think).
Anyway, a week on and no difference, still eating but struggles unless cut up food (vet said this wasn't a problem to cut it up if she found it easier).The problem that is bothering me is she's a bit sneezy. This was the case when she went to the vets last week but I completely forgot to mention it with all the teeth business. He did listen to her chest so can't have heard anything there as idn't mention it, she has no discharge or dirty paws and it's only every now and then, however, I know they can get snuffly when their immunity is low, she's had sneezy periods like this before and taken her to the vets and they couldn't see anything and suggested maybe hay up her nose-it stopped after a while.
I tried to book an appointment today to take her back to talk through things with the rabbit savvy vet, however, he's not back until 30th Aug. I've booked an appointment on 30th because I really want to talk everything through with him before making decisions about extractions etc, however, I'm worried it's leaving it too long. She's been how she is for about 2-3 weeks now, no change in how she acts or anything, but would you leave it and see how it goes or take her to a non-savvy vet? Bearing in mind I've had a vet before who could barely look in Peter's mouth-she didn't in fact, and also that she was looked at last week and there has been no change-I just didn't mention the sneezing. Plus the fact my vets is 45 mins away :?
I really don't know what to do for best
Sorry for length of post!
