Warren Veteran
Dear helpful peeps of RU
Had a massively stressful day today Left for work at 7.30am and got home at 22.50pm:evil:
Anyway boyf took Bun to the vets because I was worried about an area of hairloss under his chin. I wanted the vet to check his teeth but vet was only able to check his front teeth because she couldnt hold him properly to look at his back teeth (!?surely a vet should be able to check a rabbits molars?).
She said his front teeth might need to be trimmed (?) and that she could put him under GA on monday to do this and check his back teeth. Bun is absolutely fine - no problems eating, drinking, weeing or pooing.
I dont mind him going under GA if there really is stuff to be done.
She said an estimate of rabbit dental was £90
but then on the form it said they would give IV fluids for an extra £46 or he would get subcut fluids - is it essential for bun to have IVs???
Then fibreplex after for £10
does all this sound reasonable?
he mainly eats hay but we have reduced his pellet intake.
I hate the vets around here they are all rubbish.
