Just had the phone call from the vets updating us on Jessica’s dental today. She only had her last dental in February and today she was back in with really bad spurs, a cut to her tongue and ‘teeth all over the place’. The vet said she isn’t sure how long term this could be, forgetting the financial side but more so the affect the anaesthetic is having on her kidneys.
She said the next step would be xrays to see what her roots are looking like, whether they are all over the place or look ok. She also mentioned a referral to a specialist at Exeter but said she didn’t think they could do anything to help poor Jess that they couldn’t already do themselves.
I’ve ordered some dental food that was recommended to another forum member with a dental rabbit - that should arrive soon. I’ve also gone out today and bought a variety of hay and have a sample of oat hay coming. We’re planting trays and trays of grass but obviously having to wait for it to grow.
Can I have opinions on what you would do in this situation?
She’s such a happy little girl and it breaks my heart how bad her teeth are getting in such a short time, especially being so young. We really are trying so many different hay types but she’s shown little to no interest so far.
