As Alfie wont eat hay,now has dental probs,is having to have dentals every 3 months, is there a chance,because of the anisthectic risk,its not going to be good for him,to keep having to have a GA so often?
I dont know what to do to help him?
But im getting the feeling ive been here before,and it wasnt good news :(
 
why wont he eat hay marie? i would have thought that havin regualr ga will eventually take its toll :cry: :cry:

have you tried just a hay and water diet to get him eating it, did not think a bunny would stave itsself if they was only hay and no concentrate!!
 
Would it not be better to have the teeth out so he didn't have to have dentals so often, that is of course if it is an option.
 
I dont know why,bunnybasics were really kind and sent a sample of all there hays he didnt touch any :(
Ive tried just giving him hay,he will starve himself im afraid

hope you dont mind me asking but how long did you try him without concentrate? is it is molars?
 
Well about 3 days as i couldnt watch him waste away,its his top back teeth that grow,but there all misalined
 
Have you tried alfalfa hay? Or even the hay cakes? I know the hay cakes are hard, but might they require a different eating action, that he doesn't find so troublesome?

I thought Rowan couldn't eat hay because of his teeth being in such a bad state. But yesterday he had hay stuck in his mouth, so he must be trying. But the fact that it got stuck may mean his teeth need doing again already :cry: It isn't even a month since the last time :cry:
