Lewis is in for a Dental - U/d Had Incisors Out 31.07.155

Lewis has a malaligned jaw, was born with it, and normally he just needs a little bit off his incisors. Yesterday when I took him in we saw a new Vet who didin't feel happy about clipping his teeth so I had to book him in for a dental under GA. I don't know if they will remove his incisors or not. I wasn't too keen on the way the new Vet handled Lewis, usually they are very gentle but this one seemed a bit clumsy to me. Hope he isn't the one doing the surgery!

Vet has just 'phoned, they decided to just burr his front teeth so he hasn't had a GA and his back teeth are ok. I am so pleased for him.

If this were me I would definitely want to know whether the incisors were coming out or not! :shock:

Rabbits don't need a GA for their incisors to be trimmed, but I don't like the procedure and have always had my rabbits incisors removed if that's the case.

You don't seem too sure about this new vet ... Is it wise to let him loose on your rabbit??

I hope the dental goes well for Lewis today. Will keep everything crossed for him. xx

Hope he will feel more comfortable now xx

Glad he is OK and didn't end up needing anything drastic done.

Lewis had his incisors out on Friday. He bled quite a lot apparently and looked so sorry for himself when I picked him up. Anyway I am pleased to say he is eating fine and looking more like his usual self. There were only 3 to take out as one wasn't there and the gum had healed over so hopefully it won't start growing again. Now I can think about bonding him with somebun.

Awww glad Lewis is doing well. :thumb: My Scooby has no incisors and he now eats faster than anybun. I've never seen a rabbit hoover up readigrass as fast as he does. :lol:
