. Her teeth growth is really fast and now I am worried not chewing will degrade her teeth more in just a few days
My bun had her 2nd dental after just 45 days of the 1st one . After the 1st one she immediately started eating hay and grass . But this time she is refusing . She is currently on pallets and softened food
Yes she is . But this is really getting scary as the teeth went in very bad shape only in 1 month . So she will have to go through regular procedure . I am suspecting she will hardly eat hay or grass if this keeps up as she isn't getting enough time to heal . And there is also the fear of stasis as is currently on pellets and pumpkin oats mixture
She is on gas medicines . Poop output is still good. This time her teeth were shortened more than before so that there can be a good interval between surgeries. Even the vet was surprised to see this much growth so prescribed calcium supplements . I guess nothing to do now except waiting for her to start eating grass again
Thank you. Raven was a dental bunny. He loved his dandelion greens a d the tops from carrots.

Yes roots were fine . But none of her inside teeth were on same level and 4 spurs were there
. She is nibbling on greens . But not comfortable enough to chew for a long time . She doesn't seem to be on pain . Should I continue gas drops once a day for safety. Also she mainly cuts her grass into pieces . Tries to pick them up but fails . She can grab some pieces and that's all she eats . After 4 5 minutes she losses interest

so I have to give her other foods to keep her weight right . I am worried little chewing will bring back her spurs soon and the date will be before 3 months are overWill she eat Fibafirst? As a dry food, their fibre content is a bit higher than ordinary pellets. I have used them previously to keep weight up on an elderly Doe.Vet said she may need another dental in 3 months . But she is chewing hay in a little amount . She eats it only if she is hungry
It's good she's eating hay at all! Fingers crossed it continues, but if not, don't worry as some bunnies need dentals really frequently.Vet said she may need another dental in 3 months . But she is chewing hay in a little amount . She eats it only if she is hungry
