Hi,
I'm really at my wits end here, I haven't slept through worrying about my little fellow.
Before Christmas he went to the vets for his annual booster and at the same time, the vet gave him a general check up. We've had no problems with him, he's not a huge hay eater but eats everything else readily and has started eating more grass/ hay recently. He's the perfect weight for a mini lop and seems a very happy and contented bunny.
Anyway, the vet said his teeth were sharp and we should book him in for them to be shaved (I'm sure that's not the right word). He's due there tomorrow & I'm sick with worry. He hates the vets and we always have problems when he comes home (he refuses to eat and generally sulks).
Basically, what I'm wondering is should we leave him be for the time being as like I said, his appetite is great (apart from post vet visits), he's happy and I just don't want to put him through surgery.
Any advice, please, please
Update re above,
Thanks for all your replies.
Well, I've just returned from the vet - she gave him a good examination and asked lots of questions and basically said that the bottom molars are a little bigger than they should be but if they're not causing him any problems at the moment, she would recommend leaving it for the time being.
She said to keep a close eye on him which of course we will. She said as long as he is eating, grooming and pooping as normal, we shouldn't be worried. Unless we have cause for concern, he doesn't need to go back until his booster injections in June.
So as you can imagine, I'm a very happy and relieved bunny mummy today
Thanks for listening xx
