I really need some help.
My rabbit Olly is 4 years old and is like my little baby, I love him to pieces.
Up until now he's never been into a vet with any issue, but about 6 months ago he started getting problems with his molars. He's been getting his teeth filed down every four weeks at £80 a time which just is becoming difficult to keep paying. The vet suggested to me that if it kept up this way he'd have a bad life and would have to be put down. To me that's not an option, he is the happiest and healthiest rabbit despite of this and I just could put him down because of one small issue. I asked to have his teeth filed right down and the vet said he wouldn't need to return for about 6 months which I was happy with, however he got his teeth down about 5 weeks ago and again he is in pain, I don't want to keep putting him through these vet trips. What do you suggest I do? I thought about getting a second vet opinion, and I thought about teeth extraction but I wasn't sure if his molar could be taken out? One of his molars isn't aligned very well causing him pain as it grows. I just want my boy to be okay, please let me know any suggestions!!
