For those of you that have ever had a bunny receive dentistry for spurs - does your vet burr or rasp?
My vet rasps - essentially files down the teeth manually. I can't even remember the exact reason they opt for this (I shall ask next time I'm there)
Just posted out of curiosity really as I don't hear much about rasping, though I think Frances Harcourt-Brown did cover it on her dental lecture, either that or we discussed it at a consult decades ago. I'm sure Angel had an ulcer caused by burring (at different vet) & wonder if that is the concern. I checked on the RWA website & they are of the opinion that spurs should be burred by machine.
TBH I'd completely forgotten til a discussion a while back when I'd said to Crab Lane Vet receptionist "..... in case she needs her teeth burred". The reply "We don't burr here Ms XXXXX, we rasp"
Ps no poll option on new forum?
