jane im so sorry..after all youve all been through
I had a pet shop dwarf lop like that i know what youre going through on the future of a dental bun like that..im so sorry.
All i can say the vet said to me it was amazing how she wasnt dead before she was 3 months old..and she bounced back form every dental thaks to nursing and wonderful prepulsid when it was available in those days. she lived till she was 18 months old...she was very ill..and very upset ad they said it was kindnenr to put her down as she would get kidney and liver disease/failure cos of the GA...she had inscisors removed following an acidnet with a metal tiped water bottle..
i always felt like i could have saved her a bit longer..thanks to bif and little oscar i realsie i might have for a few monts more.
If i went back would i not get her..nope...she had the best treatment i could give at the time..and had a bunny vet....and so much love and atention and the cats as her buddies...she was fearsome but i loved her so much.
its soul destroying but you can only do what you can do and afford...and what you think is right for the buns...
you say only 18 months but so far shes the longest time ive ever had a rabbit for...woozle died horrifically form landing in dog runny poo outside the gate..and had a reaction to myxi as well and died horribly two days later.
Oscar developed stress anxiety disorder after bumble dying..tabby dying..my dad dying and us grieving and family breakups down to dad dying.
a few days after dads funeral we got him bif and once bonded they were each others soulmates...then he died of gi stasis and she survived it...
weve had her a year and five almost 6 months and my hearts thumping daily!
maybe im not a good enuff bunny mummy..or am i just unlucky in my buns health probs.whichever..its a painful thing being a bunny mummy esp when its down to the stupidity of some breeders like it was for my kibbles too.
im lucky i know a very responsible breeder..hobbyist shower not breeder en mass.......all her buns are traceable down bloodlines and dental or anything else..buns are kept as pets....and neutered etc....
she has told me many times about breeders who are just folks breeding buns theyve got from the pet store etc...and wonder why theyre babies are dental buns..heart probs etc..
shame the breeder isnt registered..brc would be down his/her neck and wouldnt be a member of the brc anymore. if theyre registered what did the brc say?
i am so sorry jane..i miss kibbles the most as she was my first bun as an adult and she taught me so much about buns..and dental probs and stasis feedng etc.
its not what breeders should be allowed to let happen.
