No, resisting the urge to ring them again :? :lol:
I hate waiting for the vets to call :?
Hope everything goes well for him

Vet just rang.
It is his teeth, they are causing him great pain His roots are pushing through his upper and lower jaw, but they are angled in such a way thay they are growing into each other and have no where to go :?
He is already on the top dose of metacam and this hasn't helped. The vet wont prescribe anything else for him just yet as she thinks he is showing signs of kidney problems, so we need to wait for his blood results to come back from the lab first.
He has no abscesses yet but she said it wont be long before they develop
I really don't know what to do for the best for him, I explained that for us quality is more important that quantity of life and there is no way we want him to carry on in severe pain
I guess we just wait for the blood test and see what that shows up.
His body x-rays came back fine, no obvious abnormalities so thats something. Nothing to show why he was so stiff and sore in his back legs, but again that could be related to his dental pain as we have had quite a few bunnies that have had problems with their back legs and it has been a pain reaction
He has had a dental where they have burred back all his teeth to gum level so at least they have room to grow up which may slow down the progress of them growing down. We can only hope
Not looking forward to paying the bill tomorrow, but he is worth every penny
So Can they do that kind of dental again? Does he need a GA again for that?
Glad his body x-rays looked good. He did look good when i saw him, somehow more active and chirpy and cheeky (despite the hair-do!). He doesnt seem to act stressed by it when eating ay? :? Hopefully he can put some condition on then which will help with the immune system.
I reckon Elwood only went and broke his leg so he can keep pace with Ed and have an excuse to use the poorly bunny bed!
Awww poor little poppet, so sorry to hear it's those blooming tooth roots, at such a young age too I do hope you manage to find a way to keep the little lad happy and comfortable for as long as is right for him.
Big hugs to you and gentle kisses for my favourite little man xxx
Eddie is home and happily munching. He has huddled himself up against the radiator, so at least thats one bunny that wont be cold today :lol:
