Hi there
Not sure how quick I will get a reply but just wanted to have a RANT, well voice a concern anyway
My house rabbit Holly is 3 years old, I've had no issues what so ever in that time, she eats everything I give and feed her totally correct. I have had rabbits 30 years now but have never had one with back teeth spurs? Took her to the vet yesterday because she's eating hay and a bit of carrot but not her pellets which is Burgess Excel. The vet was great, checked everything and the only thing he said was on that she had tooth spurs? but to give gut moving drugs and metacam e t c, all the normal stuff and come back if she don't start eating properly.
Right now she's bright in the fact she runs round in the house and the garden but you can see she's not 100% happy(we know our bunnies)
I have booked her in tomorrow to be put under to have the teeth sorted. I am worried because I had another rabbit who had slight spurs but turned out it was gastric infection and on metacam and baytril, had completely recovered and started eating again.
You know where I am coming from probably? , its hard sometimes to diagnose stuff sometimes but I cant leave her until she doesn't eat anything or not doing poo poos, she is pooing but not as much.
I would appreciate any replies
Thanks ever so much, I guess I've been lucky for 30 years with no rabbits with issues. I had a few with front teeth but that was easier.
