Sandy is brewing an imminent dental. She showed signs of needing a dental 12 days after her previous (possibly to do with a less experienced vet doing it?). She was intermittently drooling.
She was still very bright and keeping good condition and such, and my vet said to leave it as long as possible so if the drooling gets constant, or if she stops eating or starts losing weight. Currently, she is grand, stuffing her face with hay, bounding voer first for food, generally being a pickle. she is also obviously on Metacam.
As I say, currently she is grand.
So what's the dilemma? Well, she's an outside bunny. If she deteriorates overnight, any night, then these temperatures could make her severely ill. I'm worried about leaving it too long and her getting ill because of that, even if all is well when I go to bed. I will be pottering around at 3-4am-ish doing snugglesafes and such but its still a huge risk.
I'm wondering whether to get her dental done now- well tomorrow (16 days after her previous dental, but potentially by the same vet who is not my regular vet and is a new vet, and I wonder if her lack of experience may have contributed) or whether to keep going as we are because she is so bright and still very much ok despite drooling and such.
Can anyone offer any thoughts on this?
