I have just adopted a gorgeous dutch x called Bruce.He is a single bun for now as he has dental issues which need monitoring before we take on a wife for him.I haven't had a dental bun before so this is new to me but I am aware it could well become costly.
He came into rescue with wobbily incisors (top) and corresponding wobbily upper/lower molars on the left side.He had the incisors clipped and the vet wants to see how they grow back and if they separate in which case he will have them removed.Re the molars-the top one was removed but during the removal the tooth broke and part of the root remains.His left eye weeps slightly at times.
I feel that the wobbily incisors are a problem as they are now and wondered about asking to have them removed.Bruce finds eating some foods quite tricky and im worried about his hay intake.He manages SS pellets but of course they are chewed at the back of his mouth by molars.He will see my rabbit savvy vet in the near future but as the rescue is helping to fund his dental work im "stuck"with their vet for now who are keen to "wait and see how everything grows back".Does that seem reasonable or should I just fund his treatment myself and take him to my rabbit savvy vet who I trust very much?
Also is the "waitng approach"ok re his molar problems?
Any advice greatly appreciated.Thanksx
