PRINGLES TEETH!!!! :-(
It was 4 weeks tomorrow (Thurs) he got his teeth cut down... Last night i noticed his chin was all wet etc like it normally is when his teeth are bothering him :-(.
He normally gets them cut down every 6-7 weeks!!

I go on holiday in 3 weeks and it was due to be done about then!
Now its come to a surprise im going to have to get money (approx £80) and as its coming up to my holiday, phone bill, car insurance etc im skint :-(....

Ill do anything for my bun though so ill find money.... im just really upset its happened so soon after last one... I`m dreading what the vet is going to say :-(.

Feel so poo!!!
 
Is it his front of back teeth that need filing? if its his front teeth if your confident you could learn to trim them yourself with a pair of clippers - certainly cheaper for you and less stressful for bun than having to travel back and forth to the vets.

My first rabbit Thumper had back teeth problems and had them filed twice, he never made it round from the second op :sad: (but this is 13 years ago so I'm sure vet medicine has come on alot since then.) I promised I'd never put another rabbit through it again and touch wood I've never had a rabbit with teeth problems since.

hi Hayley

I had a Bunny with front teeth problems, she went from 6/7 wk trimmings to 4 weeks which she coped with pretty well although she never put on alot of condition she was always happy, the vet suggested having the front teeth removed - there are lots of pros and cons to this but she died before we could make a decision. At that point I decided that if we were ever in the same situation again I'd get the operation sooner - there are some people on this forum who have buns with no front teeth - not ideal but if its less stressful for them I think its worth it.
Obviously if you can learn to trim her teeth yourself that might be the easiest and most cost effective thing to do but if you are in the situation where the vet suggests taking them out I would recommend getting as much infor from this forum as you can and then make a decision thats best for your bun - I think we just left it to late for our Bunny.

Anyway good luck with your bun, I'm sure you'll do whats best for her!

Hi,

I had a rabbit who had to have his back teeth done every 4 weeks. I found a vet who would do it without a GA. IT was less risky as he was an older bun and much cheaper.
 
It is his back teeth :cry:
Luckily i took him to the vet and its only his bottom left one that is starting to get a wee spike (not enough to bother him) so im really happy it was a false call :D

Hopefully it will be a few weeks before he needs them done again..

Thank you everyone for your support :D :love: xx
