Boo's dental thread

thank You all. Its good news, we have just arrived home with our precious little grumpy chops. It was indeed dental time, her spur had cut in to her gum. xrays pretty much the same which we're happy about. There is still a bit of infection where her teeth went missing but much less & not a big concern as its free draining. Joeys giving her loves now. Apologies for the delay in updating. She was late in to theatre, we didn't leave the vets til 7.30pm. The long journey was a lot longer than usual through road closures & having a stop to cool down.

So glad you caught this in time, well done you both :)

I remember long days of travel to a specialist, it's exhausting and I used to fall asleep in the Garden Centre while waiting for bun to be dealt with.
 
I spent most of the day in the run down cemetary necxt to the vets - it was very peaceful. Wandered in to town too.

She looks a bit sorry for herself :( Not eating much at all (but did have 7pm syringe feed at vet) . She has had her metacam, zantac & domperidone. OH is lying on the floor fanning her. Last night we awoke to found her loafing on his pillow. If I had better pillows she'd have loafed on mine

How's she doing today? :wave:
 
Thank You all for asking. I checked on her at 4am & she seemed hungry - ate some forage. I've not long been up - OH said she ate her breakfast, she was chewing on branches when I came down, ate some dandelions, cucumber & is now cuddle snoring with mouse. I'd say on balance she does seem a bit quieter. Her teeth are a tiny bit squeaky

Quite a good report, given the dental yesterday :)
 
It feels comfortable to me inside but then I'm not a bunny in a big fur coat. I've been dampening cotton items, popping them in a plastic bag & freezing them til they go crunchy (perhaps 30-60mins depending on the size). Boo seems to like this but Mouse doesn't like this & so is hell bent on trying to evict such items from the cuddle zone
