Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
I need to make a decision about Fern and I really don't know what to do. She is a 7 1/2 year old French lop.
She generally is very lively but is drinking and weeing far to much and is also always starving hungry. She saw the vet today and will go back for blood tests next week as the surgerys bolld machine is broken at the moment.
The vet also discovered that Fern has some irregular molars on one side. These don't seem to be bothering her at the moment but the chances are they will in the future.
I now need to decide whether to risk a GA and get them sorted now or wait and see if they get worse. The vet is very reluctant to GA her because of her age and breed, but I am thinking that if we do it now it will be a quicker dental and she may be in better condition now than in the future as she has lost a little weight.:? But then again if she has lots of other problems her teeth may be the least of her worries and may never get to a point where they are causing real problems.
What would you do? I have had Fern since she was 4 months old so she has always had a good life, if that makes any difference :?
