What can. I expect if ..

If* Robin does have a teeth problem even though he's a babe still what can I expect?
My mind is running faster than I can keep up with .
His eye is no different it's not any wetter , looks the same !
But now I'm all paranoid that he gets a little wet nose , it's not running but his fur looks slightly wet.

I'm trying not to work myself into a panic , himself he's as naughty as always still , into everything, sitting on the coffee table knocking stuff off and eating well and lots of binkies

It's unlikely, but not impossible, that Robin has a tooth problem. But you will become a total stress ball if you worry about things that haven't happened yet!

Sometimes elongated tooth roots can exert pressure on the tear duct and cause a runny eye. So long as it doesn't get repeatedly infected, just bathe it in cooled boiled water with a tiny pinch of salt, and you'll keep things looking good

I am not going to post any links, as it will only worry you further - please don't!! He's a beautiful rabbit and you are such a caring owner. Don't worry yourself into a frazzle

I have health anxiety which I've been having therapy for and getting a rabbit was meant to relieve my anxiety as I love watching them play but with what happen with Aubrey has me on the edge ..

I'm just anxious I could loose Robin too.

So in scared he'll need a operation or they won't be able to neuter him because he has a tooth thing to get other ..
My partner thinks I'm nuts as he's never seen such a happy rabbit before

As I said previously, I'll eat my hat if he has Dental problems. Elongated tooth roots are an ACQUIRED condition- it develops over time. More time than Robin has been alive !!

Please try not to let your anxiety about his teeth (which I bet are FINE) detract from what joy Robin will bring you as he grows up. He loves his hay, which is FANTASTIC for his teeth and his tum. Perhaps he needs to reconsider exercising those gnashers on your menfolk though !! :lol:

Aww I am really sorry have you have your own anxiety. The problem with rabbits is that they *do* relieve stress, but only after you've got over the initial panic phase when something seems not right with them.

Try and weather this early phase. You had some bad luck with Aubrey, and there's no reason to suppose Robin will have troubles in the same way.

Also, if the teeth are a problem, it's very easy to live with (I've lived with more dental rabbits that I could care to count!) and won't in any way affect his neuter ...

Enjoy your happy rabbit :wave:

I am sure that his teeth are fine. He's only a baby and the fact that he loves his hay is great. I know that anxiety can run away with your thoughts, but please try to relax and enjoy him. You were incredibly unlucky with what happened to Aubrey, you are a great bunny mum and I am sure that Robin will be fine in every way. He sounds like a normal, happy, healthy rabbit to me :thumb:

He does really love his hay especially the dried dandelions mixed in it.
