Teeth grinding

Georgi

Young Bun
Can anyone explain what this actually sounds like? My bunny went into gut stasis yesterday and is looking a lot better and slowly starting to eat again. A couple of times I've noticed her chewing but I'm not sure whether she's eating and I just can't see what she has in her mouth or if she's grinding her teeth in pain :?
 
It's like a clicking noise really. you'd know if it were grinding as it's an odd and quite loud sound. So if when you are close by you can't hear any noise from bun, then she is probably chewing.
 
You would know if a bunny was teeth grinding in pain, it is a horrible sound.

Sounds like your bunny might be chewing / teeth chattering in a sort of getting comfortable way. My Herbie does it a lot.
 
Ah that's great, I was hoping it was just chewing/normal noises as she wasn't showing any other signs of pain. She just tucked in to a nice lunch of fresh hay (including posh, new hay :lol: ), dandelions and readigrass so we're on the right track :D
