Chinook is having her first dental, after an episode of not eating

Boots · Mar 26, 2015

My poor little baby wasn't well at all this morning, but thankfully after some gut motility drugs, pain relief and antibiotics, she's much more herself.

However, the vet (who incidentally, operated on Elmo's obstruction a couple of weeks ago), spotted some small spurs on her molars, and suspects they might be the cause of this no-eating incident. There's no ulcerations thankfully, but hopefully we can nip this in the bud now and prevent any more incidents.

We're taking Chinook in, in the morning, to have her first dental. I'm pretty nervous, but I have complete faith and confidence in this vet. If you have any spare vibes, please think of my baby Chinook and send her "get through this op and be healthy" vibes.

Chinook is the crazy one of my trio, who lives life at a million miles an hour and is just joy personified.

I forgot to mention: I'm syringe feeding her every 3 hours, up until midnight, then once at 4am and 7am, then she's off for her dental. She's taking the critical care really well (for the most part) and is eating by herself too.

Hope all goes well for Chinook today. I bet the Vet is looking forward to doing a Dental on a helicopter

:lol:

Thank you Jane! Haha, we actually named her after the helicopter because when she's excited, she holds them forwards like a helicopter and is all black :lol:

She made it through the dental and is now eating by herself, YAY!

She is such a smart bunny, she knows that if she puts her tongue in the way of the syringe, she can then dribble the meds out :roll:

She's back to normal Chin mode, so we're just going to keep an eye on her and hope she doesn't need another dental!

So glad her dental went well and that she's now feeding herself :thumb:
