Wise Old Thumper
Dandelion has been having toothy problems since November. After 5 years of managing to keep his teeth reasonably good, the spurs suddenly went mad! He had a dental in November, where a cracked tooth was found. Since then his teeth have all been growing wonkier and wonkier Last Monday he went in to have his spurs done again, but by this time his teeth were all growing sideways, and the only option was to remove as many as possible. He now has two back teeth (they couldn't be easily removed at the time, and will have to be done at a future date) and his incisors (which will need regular burring now as one is curling outwards).
It was a major operation for a wee bunny, and because the teeth were so wonky the holes in the gums are bigger than usual. His gums are still healing, so he's living on syringe feeds at the moment, although he's having a go at soft leaves and porridge oats
Here are some pics of my brave wee boy
I got given a pot with his teeth in, but I won't show the pic of those
The first few feeds after the op were a bit messy

The vet nurses say he's the easiest bunny they ever had for syringe feeding - here he is looking a bit cleaner!
I know the nails need doing, but he's had so much done lately that we're just doing a couple of nails a day.
He looks for food almost every time I go down to see him now - he gets a syringe of porridge first and then one of fruit puree for pudding
