This is how Ginger looks when her tooth roots are pressing up into her jaw :(

Wish they could be fixed.

She hasn't stopped eating, she just looks depressed and isn't really interested in life. She's currently sat in the litter tray in the dog crate stuffing her face with fresh hay and bramble leaves.

I've cleaned her eye about 6 times today, as its just streaming, her nose is snotty too, think we're just in for a bit of a rough patch again, nothing we've not been through all together before, but its not nice all the same.

Thanks everyone for caring, just wish i could fix her, but know i can't. Biccy's trying his best to keep her eyes clean too

Oh, the poor poor little sweetheart!!!

I used to have a bunny, a little girly called Jem, who had that exact same problem. Our first vet misdiagnosed it for months and months and I have no idea how many times he gave us stuff for eye infections:evil:. When we clocked on to how little he knew about rabbits we changed vets; and after a month or so of dentals, tear duct flushing ect. the new vet said that the constant eye trouble was never going to go and suggested that he remove all four of her front teeth.

We didn't like the idea much, but as you know they suffer so much we came around to the idea. She looked a bit sorry for herself after the op for a few weeks and we had to syringe feed for days and then onto soft foods she could lap up but then she came in to a new lease of life. She could still eat hay, pellets and basically anything that she could get to her molars. Veggies had to be cut up into bunny mouth sized strips which we fed to both rabbits, in fact our other rabbit who had perfectly good teeth used to refuse to eat anything that wasn't chopped up after a while :roll: But Jem was the picture of a healthy happy rabbit, we had to watch that she didn't get dirty and brush her more at moulting time as she found it harder to groom herself. But other than that the only difference between her and Nibbles was that she couldn't eat the carpet or strip the wallpaper! :lol:

I don't know if this could be applicable to you, with Jem it was the front two top teeth that were overgrowing into her jaw and pressing on her tear ducts and also I believe she was fairly young at the time, (about 2ish, being a rescue we weren't sure). But I hope it is some help.

Aw, precious Ginger. (Gentle noserubs)
And her champion, Biscuit. It's such a joy to read about how close they are.
No worries Ginger...you have your loving husbun and Graham at your side to care for you, and all the vibes at RU in your corner. ((((((((((((((Healing vibes))))))))))))))

Oh poor Ginger, that made me well up, its just she looks so so sad Will a dental help, or is there anything else you can do for tooth roots?
