Lola dental issues... Just my luck!!!

I took Lola for her myxi update today. She's never had her teeth checked and because she is 4.5yrs old and a rescue bun the vet said she wanted to check her teeth (ive not had them checked before, only Buster had his checked for the insurance)

Anyway its my blimming luck that Lola has a missformed tooth that is likely to need removing and large spurs :( Lola is absolutly fine and the vet had said that although the spurs are large on one side, because they are so thick they shouldnt cause any problems at all. The rest of her teeth are perfect but she might need a dental in 6mnths time :cry: I dont have any insurance so im going to start saving now just incase. Im going to purchase insurance now anyway although its not likely they will cover her teeth. I cant believe it this is typical bad luck, first Buster and now Lola
 
Oh no, that is such bad luck :cry:

I am a bit :? as to why the Vet did not want to address the issue sooner rather than later though :?
 
I think its because i was very adamant that she is absolutly fine at the moment. She eats hay like theres no tomorrow and the tooth has clearly been like it for some time so i dont think its bothering her at all. After everything thats happened with Buster and his new problems that have occured because of the operation on his teeth and the antibiotics id rather not rock the boat with Lola because she had stasis alot when i got her and she's been fab for a long while now. Id hate her to have the op then go back to having continuing troubles with her gut. Bunnies are complicated :( I wouldnt change either of them for the world though. She has to be seen again in a few months time for a dental check for the insurance so Gemma will see if it has got better or worse. She said in the mean time to keep feeding good quality hay and give her more wood to chew on
