Teeth Problems...Pics needed for project

Gem

Wise Old Thumper
Has anyone got pics of teeth problems, I’m specifically looking for over grown front teeth where owners haven’t taken the bun to the vet, I don’t suppose anyone knows or has a pic of a spur?

Any photo's I receive are to be used in a diet presentation, detailing the effects of feeding the incorrect diet, i.e. not enough Fibre.

Thanx

Ditto what I said in your other thread, I have x-rays of Fern's jaw. You can't see spurs but you can see the problems with the roots growing downwards and the sockets being loose.

I don't know if this is relevant to the angle of your presentation, but if it is let me know and I'll see if I can get the x-ray scanned in.
 
Don't know if these are any good, these were Squishy's teeth before he had them removed. They had been clipped before this photo - the bottom incisors are positioned in front of the top incisors which had led to them growing right up to his gums, before I took him home and got them sorted out!

I had one as bad as that last year, the top teeth had gone into the mouth and got tangled with the bottom and the rabbit couldnt open his mouth :cry: . val
 
Thats brilliant Karly!

Thanks Sola, I've got the ones of Wally.

Your ones are great, thanks Val!
 
I took these of Rosie and Rowan before they saw the vet:
Rosie's:
She had only two top peg teeth and one wonky bottom tooth

Rowan's:
He had overgrown front teeth and wonky bottom teeth:

Rosie now has no teeth at all - the vet removed the bottom one, and she came back from her spey with her peg teeth loose and they came out. I reckon they dropped her :x But she is extremely hard to hold :roll: They should have told me though :x

Rowan now has a very twisted front bottom tooth that I will take a pic of for you. His back teeth are awful too and he will only eat softened pellets. Last time I looked at his back teeth there was a spur going towards his cheek but the otoscope knocked it off, the tooth was just crumbly :? I'm not sure how to take pics of those though, it is hard enough to see them :roll:
