Wise Old Thumper
Other than my late Dancer who had a malocclusion on her front incisors only, I never had acute dental issues with my bunnies-even when they became elderly. Today I took Raven who is just under a year and a half to the vets because he slowed his eating and drinking quite a bit on Tuesday. The vet saw some spurs on the cheek side of his molars so now Raven has a dental scheduled for Monday. He should not be under GA for very long, but he will be spending several hours at the vets so I hope he will not be needing this done too often. Until then he has fluids and Medicam and I am trying to get him to eat little amounts on his own without my forcing Critical Care (unless I must) because he is quite fiesty for a 1kilo Netherland Dwarf. I'll continue to monitor his pee and poo to make sure his system continues to move. With the fluids his pee and poos are better but still less than his usual.
Even the vet acknowledged that Raven is starting young with dental issues, so I am wondering if this is something I will be dealing with on a regular basis and how often.
It seemed so sudden since Raven likes to chew a cardboard cereal box into confetti and was doing so on Monday.
Tonight I mixed some critical care and put it in a bowl and will see if he will eat it without having it syringed into his mouth.
