Hi,
Just a query to see if it's usual/possible for the time between dentals to get shorter....and why? We adopted Patsy 2 years ago, aged approx 2 years. She had a thorough dental check whilst being spayed under GA and was found to have a tiny molar spur, which was burred but had not been causing any issues. We were happy to take her on knowing this. Patsy needed another dental about 10 months later, and then another 4 months after that. Now 2 months on from the last, I'm detecting very subtle signs that she may be due again before long :/
Patsy came from a bad home, but now gets the best care and is an excellent hay eater. She eats a lot of hay and 2tbsp of pellets a day (she is a stocky 2.6kg). I would have thought this would fend off her molar spurs, so am surprised the length between treatment appears to be shortening.
Does something change in a rabbits tooth growth as they get older? We think she is around 4 now.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks x
