hello everyone.my little holland lop moo has an abcess under her ear and my vet would like to put her under to x-ray her head to look at her teeth roots and also to cut open the abcess.the vet is concerned that the abcess is linked to a severe dental issue.moo is coming up 4 and i only have experience of severe dental probs with my old bun elvie,who sadly had to go to the bridge because of it.if the abcess is bad news,what can i expect for little moo and the rest of her life?does this mean i could lose her at this young age or can it be kept at bay?i guess we wont know much until the results of the op come in but any advice or experiences would be much appreciated:) thanks again
 
I'm sorry that must be really worrying for you. Poor little Moo. I don't have any experience with this but I'm sure someone will be along soon with some good advice. Sending healing vibes xxx
 
awe thankyou binkey bun:)i am trying to keep positive but after losing my gorgeous rex boy bam last week,its hard.
 
Hi one of my buns had an abscess behind her eye which they thought was due to her teeth. she ended up losing the eye because of the abscess but they couldn't figure out what caused it:? . I would be prepared for a bun who is reluctant to eat if they are going to drain the abscess. I think when it is on the head, around the mouth etc the pain is a lot worse for them when eating. It took pistachio nearly a week to eat solids again, i was syringe feeding her hipps organic baby food from a jar, its liquid so syringes easily. she loved it and happily ate this which meant she didn't go into stasis:roll: . might be worth getting some to be prepared. I hope it is good news for her, and if you have a rabbit savvy vet i am sure they will do their best for your bun x Jess
 
thanks for that jess,i will prepare myself for that now.lets keep our fingers and toes crossed for my little moo,bless her.
