i hope this is in the right section? sorry if it isnt.
i just need some Vibes for my old boy Sherpa.
a quick history, last november he had xrays as his tear ducts were constantly watering. we didnt find a reason bit we did see th state of his teeth. his lower incisors have stopped growing, causing his upper to grow more. this n effect is changing his eating and causing his molars to misalign causing spikes etc. we also saw that all of his tooth roots are sitting at the edge of him skull and that abcesses wernt far off.
about 3 months ago i had to put him under GA for a dental. it was horrible. the dental was finished at 11am and he dint stop thrashing and spinning and falling over till about 5pm it broke my heart to see him like that and he wasnt right for at least 24hours after that. i viwed not to put him through a GA again and that if his teeth were ever bad i would have to make a decision.
another thing is that he also has spinal arthritis and possible kidney issues as well as being a pasturella sufferer.
now i have been keeping a close eye on him and about a week ago he started to struggle wth pellets again. i started mixing him up porrige and recovery food and he has been happy with that-and he has still been trying to eat pellets.
however this morning was the first time that i checked on him and the bowls were still full, he has eaten tiny amounts of it, but im worried he is not getting enough in
taking him to work with me today so the vets can have a look at him teeth and so i cn weigh him. he was only 2.4kg last time (about a month ago)
anyway, i just need vibes, im worried and scared he will be worse than i think. and Sherpa is so special to me. he is the last surviving rabbit that me and my mum owned together (my mum passed away 5 years ago) and he has been with me through thick and thin.
so super vibes please. he is my special little boy and i hope im just being paranoid.
