part of me really wishes I had read up more on rabbit breeds and dentals, and that mini breeds are more prone to them. but hey, I have a butthead of a rabbit now so I gotta stick this out lol.
Snoopy is just two years old, and this is going to be his second dental. for the past month he has shown less interest in hay, and also slower at eating his pellets. and the past two days, he's had no interest in hay, and little in food. he often has periods where he gets gas so no movement, so I self treat home with some critical care and baby gas drops/gripe water. it works every time with no issues, a day later he perks up and is back to himself. I figured that this time maybe but its not.
so a vet appointment and £65 shorter for today, we know its his teeth. his teeth are slightly misaligned, and not a straight tooth. they go up towards the middle. meaning that instead of a straight topped tooth, its more diagonal. now on Monday he has a dental, dropping him off at 9am and hoping I can make my 10am appointment 11 miles away. but hey if I'm late I'm late, my little boy is important.
the only good thing out of this is that my vets are willing to do a payment plan for the £125 dental. Monday I pay £65, and then can pay £20 a week after that which works well for me. I don't have £125 right up, I'm still a student and I don't make too much money :/
right now he's sat in a corner of his pen that I have moved downstairs (its so much easier over up and down for meds 3 times a day, and I can keep an eye on him as can my parents) and looking pretty damn sorry for himself lol. for the rest of the weekend its tempting him with greens and critical care until Monday.
we could have done an emergency but the vet and I agreed that's not the best choice. over the weekend we can strengthen him up and get meds inside of him. and its also fairly late, so timing would be an issue. Snoopy is also still eating some, so its not like he's completely eating nothing at all.
heres my grumpy lil boy lol
