ok , cheeky had his dental done on friday , got him home friday night. he,s eating ok despite his mouth obviously being a bit sore with getting a tooth out but over the last two days i have noticed that he is drinking an awful lot of water . he is fine otherwise ( considering what he has gone through) I thought it could be due to the fact that it cools his mouth ??? or could it be his kidneys ? :shock:

he fine , still drinking but not as much as yesterday . I came in from work and noticed that he had not eaten , i flew into a panic but realised why when I picked him up . His chin was looking abit sore this morning so i put some tea tree cream for rabbits on his chin area . what had happened tho was it had dried during the day and did not stay oily , it had actually hardened like a face pack would so he did not want to open his mouth .. poor babe , i feel so terrible , i washed it off and applied a little vaseline ( which stays moist) and he was alot happier with me and went right to his food .

cheeky has been on a softish diet now for nearly a year due to having virtually no teeth , his diet is still the same but i spoke with the vet today and he said that its probably due to the heat , the dental extraction and the fact that its cooling his mouth down . The vet done a blood test on friday before his wee op and it came back fine so he said not to panic . i feel utterly terrible about the cream on his chin tho . it was set like concrete !! , i,ll NEVER do that again .
, i,ll NEVER do that again .
