Scooby can't eat

[mini lop1]

sending vibes the dental goes well x

Scooby had his dental last night. He had a loose tooth which seems to be the main reason he couldn't chew, it was one of the middle lower molars. He did have spurs on his teeth, but they weren't actually that bad. He's had the loose tooth removed and the sharp edges burred. The tooth came out quite easily, but we'll have to keep an eye on how the opposing upper tooth wears. Also one of his incisors has decided to start growing back. I don't know exactly how old Scooby is, but I'd guess he's no more than 2 years. I was surprised that a young rabbit would have a loose tooth.

I'm just waiting for another update. Hopefully he's eating and pooing and will be able to come home this morning.

Thanks for the vibes and good wishes everyone.

sounds relatively straightforward at least. Fingers crossed it doesn't cause him any further problems.

Ditto the above. I wonder if the spurs developed as his eating slowed because of the loose tooth.. in which case *maybe* it won't be a regular occurrence.... hopefully.

Good news Tracy

Scooby is home. He is very 'quiet' and won't eat or drink. I've syringe him some critical care and also a little water. He ate and passed poos at the vets, but he's not doing at home so far. I'll see how he goes over the next few hours, hopefully he'll perk up later as it's still quite soon after his GA.

Yes, she's a very good bunny partner, she's always grooming him. Her devotion doesn't extend to feeding time though, she thinks nothing of snatching food out of his mouth. :roll:

You know I had a feeling you would say that!

Just too much to ask of a girl ... <sigh>

Paws crossed for Scooby. Just seen he's still poorly on the other thread.

Thanks. :wave:

We're back from seeing the vet. He is starting to go into stasis, thankfully not as bad a couple of months ago when he had an impacted stomach. We have Zantac and cisapride and are continuing with metacam, syringe feeding and fluids (by mouth). His mouth looks fine, so shouldn't be causing much discomfort.

Poor lad, he looks very sorry for himself but hopefully the motility drugs will kick in very soon and he'll start to feel better. We have another appointment booked for Tuesday for a check up, but if he doesn't start to improve then we have to take him straight back.

What a worry this lad is.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone :wave:

He sometimes has carrot cut into little cubes as a treat and he currently refusing that. I'll give it a try grated instead.
