You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
This is actually now quite a long time and I would have expected a bun to be eating well by now. I would definitely start worrying that something was missed (they cannot see the back teeth unless under sedation so would not see them on a quick check) or that in havong the mouth open wide something hurt the muscle or jaw.
You say it was a quick burring - was it cheek teeth or incisors? No extractions?
Have they given fluids to help him get over the stassis that seems to be setting in?[/QUOTE
He just had his back teeth spurred down no extractions .... He drinks water but still eats so slowly ! If he eats at all! I am not aware of them giving him
Fluids but they did say he was on a drip before we picked him up? He's cleaning himself and is fine around daisy but he's lost quite a bit of weft he was 2.13 and now he's 1.98 ! He's never been like that! He is pooing too but something doesn't se right! My fella is at home now with him and he's not eaten much
we took him back and they said he's pooing weeing he's alert mouth is fine etc so they gave him some food through a syringe quite a lot and some more jabs to get his gut going they said sometimes it jugs takes take and for something to kick they said if u need to bring him back everyday we weigh him feed him then that's what we will do to get him going he obv needs a push ... They did bloods and X-rays when he had his dental and nothing came up ! Hopefully syringe feeding and these jabs will get him going! He's lost so much weight he was 2.13 now he's 1.98 he cleans though and jumps and plays with my rabbit he just needs to start eating! Ahhhhhh poor boy ! I'll be at vets everyday I think but I'm not bothered I would rather do that ! As they are a lot firmer feeding him etc zxxp he normally eats everything and anything xShe ate slowly for a good couple of weeks. Normally she eats really fast so it was very noticeable. I think you might be right about getting used to their new teeth, they're probably used to them as they were.
