7.5 yr old Alfie underwent dental burring four weeks ago and one molar fell out. He is quite badly maloccluded and his teeth are apparently loose and 'all over the place'. One week later, he developed an ear abscess. This seems to be clearing with daily baytril and metacam. However, this past week he has shown signs of discomfort and stopped eating hay. I am sure it's his teeth as he keeps chewing on nothing, scratches under his chin and sneezes a lot. The vet says he needs an x ray to establish the cause. My vet doesn't do rabbit dentistry and would refer Alfie to an exotics vet. I am worried sick about the stress all this would cause Alfie in terms of carting him off to the vet yet again - would it be best to contact the exotics vet direct? And would they x ray, then do what needed to be done straight away? And does anyone have any idea of costs? I live in East Sussex.
