Hi,
Just wondering anyone has this experience on having this problem on your rabbits?
My neutered 9 years old male rabbit has excess saliva, both sides of his mouth and chin are wet starting two weeks ago. He wasn't eating nuggets, eats less hay and feces very small, so I bought him to see vet and did the investigation under anaesthetic, also blood test and x-ray. Vet could not find any overgrown teeth, no problem with kidney or chest. However, vet suspects there might be swollen thing at the very back of his mouth, the area is hard to reach.
At the moment, he is taking painkiller twice a day and I have to syringe feed him the dual care nugget. He is generally better, eats soft hay/ readigrass, all veggies and fruits, feces size is normal small.
However, more saliva and spread to left face and left eye half opens, see pictures. Right eye is fine and bright. The colour of the saliva was light yellowish before, but today it's light pink colour.
Anyone has this experience? What did you do to help your rabbit and how you clean up the sailva? I am concerned about his skin and at the moment, I only wet the cotton pad and wipe him twice a day, but not really helpful.
Any comment is appreciated
Thank you.
