Mia went in for an xray and a dental this morning.
She was eating less hay, her right eye was closing whilst eating, she was moving her head whilst eating greens as if uncomfortable, leaving the stalks of spring greens as if too tough, eating quite a few faecal pellets a day, clicking occasionally whilst eating. She had antibiotics and painkiller previous to this xray for about a week.
Apparently the xray is fine. The term was something like NRAD or NSAD? What does this mean?
The vet said there were no injuries to the tongue although the spurs were or looked 'sore' - what does this mean? They'd got worse in the week we tried antibiotics which I regret but if she'd have gone to sleep aand not woken up and the antibiotics could've solved it I wouldve never forgiven myself. The vet filed the left molar spurs and 'clipped and filed' the right molar spurs -the vet nurse said these weren't as bad as the left but to me with it being the right side she seemed to avoid with greens going in her mouth (can't be sure what she was doing on the inside but she kind of took greens in from the front and the left if it makes sense) and the fact clipping and filing sounds like more needed to be done would mean the right side was the worst? - Can someone explain this to me too? :S
We've got a repeat appointment for Friday, with the vet I've been dealing with mostly. To get her in sooner another vet has done her dental and xray whos suppose to have 22 years vet experience and has made these notes. I'm wondering if I'd have been better choosing a day when the vet shes been seeing could do it...
I thought clipping wasn't done anymore either? Or is it normal for vets still to clip?
The vet nurse said she was popping her head up when she called her name and that she was friendly and had a cuddle with her. This annoyed me, she's so nervous at home with me and Zak, I wouldn't say she knows her name and she usually hides if she sees anyone pop up. Or could she have been different at the vets? Or maybe it was when she was sedated?
She has more baytril and loxicom for until Friday's appointment. She settled next to Marley and I could hear her doing something with her teeth, its loudish but shes not doing it all the time, like when people bite their nails kind of noise? She just sat up, laid back down with her right eye looking sleepy and kinda chatted and then chewed her mouth from the front (like a cow?) and I can hear the odd tooth noises like the biting nails now and again.
This vet whos done her dental has said about seeing some dental specialist David Crossey or something similar? I'm wondering why, surely a rabbit specialist would be better? The vet Mia has been seeing regularly is nice and probably would agree a rabbit specialist would be better and thats who I'm booked in for seeing Friday.
Thoughts? Opinions? What next? I'm such a mess
