Not sure if this should be here or in health really.
Parsley had a dental this morning, his first procedure with my vets. Whilst he was sedated, he suddenly jumped forwards, resulting in soft tissue trauma to the back of his throat as the vet was rasping a tooth at the time. They applied pressure to stop the bleeding and there are no large tears. He's eaten some dandelion leaves and is now home with baytril and loxicom and has a check up booked tomorrow.
The vet phoned me as soon as she had finished the procedure and he was coming round nicely and told me what had happened and described it as a sudden wake up. The ward nurse who discharged him told me that given the risk with bunnies they don't sedate them as deeply as they do cats and dogs. Just wondered if anyone had had any experience of this. I'm seeing the vet who carried out the procedure tomorrow and I do have a lot of faith in her abilities. As I said, just wondering if this was a relatively common occurrence?
