Gus-ta-furry
Warren Scout
one of our bunnies seemed to be tooth grinding a little over the weekend (but only a few times a day) , doing a little bit of hunching and one or two rare occasions when she seemed to reposition herself when lying down (belly rubbing ?), but then doing a lot of happy flops (mixed in with hopping around normally)
shes been eating hay and pellets absoultely fine and doesn't seemed too fazed by anything
took her to the vets, tummy felt fine, she looked into her mouth and then the indecision started .....
the vet said her teeth were slightly misaligend and she could see some spurs but they didn't seem to be touching the cheeks/tongue
she then said they're not the worst teeth I've seen :roll: (thanks, that's a great help)
she seemed very indecisive on whether Little Chels needed the dental and seemed to want me to make the decision for her ! :shock:
evetually I pushed her into making a decision and she said she would recommend the dental
I think we are overly paranoid after waiting too long for Gus' (on the vet practices advice) and losing him to complications after an abscess and tooth removal
the vet said little Chelsea's heart seemed strong and healthy and therefore saw the GA as minimal risk (especially if the work was just burring)
Do RU'ers have any rules they set themslves around dentals ? obviously the teeth grinding could be caused by anything so there is a risk we could be outting her under GA/strain to the body for no reason
