Dennis investigations

So we saw uncle John today to get his eyes checked as they are starting to get worse. He's got to be admitted to Anton Monday night where he is going to have a CT scan and investigations as John suspects elongated roots.

Jane please

Blimey, as Dennis is being cared for by Uncle John I doubt I can be of any help !! If tooth root elongation is an issue, whilst it cannot be cured it can be managed. This may include regular dentals to make sure the crowns of the teeth are kept to the correct level with optimum occlusion. If it is the Incisor roots causing problems the depending on severity Incisor removal is an option. Going forward daily pain relief may become necessary as elongated tooth roots can be painful. Also, a Rabbit with elongated tooth roots may be more prone to tooth root abscesses, although this is certainly not inevitable.

Treating any eye problems associated with tooth root elongation may also become a daily issue- ie bathing the eyes, applying a barrier ointment around the area where the tears run (to prevent the skin becoming sore) and treating any secondary infection should it occur.

I am 100% certain that Uncle John will manage Dennis's issues brilliantly and you can be confident that he is receiving A* Veterinary care x

Sending Dennis lots and lots of healing vibes. John is awesome - I wish I lived nearer so he could be my regular vet.
 
I don’t have any advice but John discovered Phillip’s teeth roots and has been absolutely brilliant with advice and treatment. Sending lots of love for Dennis x

Thank you Jane. Dennis doesn't have any eye inflammation or any spurs which Is why he is thinking that. He said whilst he is under the GA he I'd going to put some dye in his eye to rule out blocked tear duct and double check molar teeth for sneaky spurs.

I am a bit worried about GA, overnight stay etc though

I hope that Dennis and Maple sleep well tonight at Uncle John's and that all goes well tomorrow. I will be thinking of you all.
 
Thank you every bun, I decided to go for a CT scan of his head and an xray of his body. I want a full body xray to check his athritis and hopefully find nothing else. Buns are at Uncle John's for the evening.
