Hi, I haven't Been on in a while but Jimmy has ongoing dental problems he had dentals every 4 weeks from January till June. The last dental the vets sent him home and he was no different, for some reason they hadn't done it , they took him back in and did it again. Since then we have went till now and he had another dental yesterday.
2 questions
How can he go 16 weeks inbetween a dental and then every 4 weeks. That is confusing. Seasonal maybe?
Do rabbits always have the ear shaved and a drip put in. He doesn't seem to of had that done to him this time, which concerns me because the same thing happened last time and it turned out they hadn't done his teeth and he had to go back the next day. (very bad practise I know.)
Any advice again would be very much appreciated
Thank you xx

I would most definitely look for another vet. I would have lost all confidence in them if they sent him home having not done anything!

Frosty had his ear shaved for the dental he had earlier in the year.

The change in frequency - does this relate to him eating more hay/grass/Readigrass previously at 16 week intervals? I would see if you can find a rabbit savvy vet/specialist and take him there to be examined. It could also be that the dentals aren’t being done properly or they are missing something.
