Urgent rabbit dilemma - what to do? U/D He's home!

Awww I am very glad you have got him. I hope he soon settles in. He doesn't know it yet but he is one lucky bunny, but my gosh what a lot the little fella has been through. Sending settling in vibes x

I'm so glad you've decided to take him. There aren't many people who would take on a dental bunny, so I'd like to say a big 'thank you'

If it's his incisors, I very much doubt that a change in diet will prevent his teeth overgrowing...chances are his teeth just don't meet properly to wear down. Keep a close eye on his teeth because they may need doing every couple of weeks at worst. Also keep an eye out for signs of discomfort/pain,discoloured teeth or pus because one of the causes for malloclusion is tooth root infection.

Thank you - will do. As a black dental bunny I can see a rescue would struggle to re-home him even if the vets had managed to get him a place with one. I did have a quick look at his teeth while at the vets and I agree with you it's unlikely the change in diet will fix them. Will keep a close eye on them for the things you mention. I'm glad he's eaten overnight and this morning - at least he doesn't have any urgent problems and can hopefully be checked during his neuter, although if he shows signs of being in pain meanwhile I'll get him seen sooner. :wave:


Thank you to everyone for your words of encouragement. :wave:
