He's eating 'okay' - still refusing lots of 'normal' things, but is eating pellets and grass and has had a nibble of some hay and had a few leaves of hawthorn. He's eating hawthorn as i type this.
I'm really worried that its his teeth. His poops look alright right now, but his behaviour is attrotious (sp?). His digging is out of control, he destroyed all 3 litter trays overnight/this morning. This is exactly how he was just before his first dental
Calling into the vets this morning to make an appt
If its tooth roots, what are the procedures? I will make another thread in health
I can't handle Biscuit being ill, its totally different to Ginger. He's been my rock for the last 12 months through everything

I'm glad he's eating, and hopefully it's something straightforward if it is his teeth i.e they need burring rather than root type problems.
It's always worse when the normally healthy one is poorly isn't it, you get used to it with certain buns so when the other one gets something it's more of a shock.
Good luck at the vets :wave:

As former owner of a couple of dental buns...as distressing as it is, it's not the worst thing. Vet will just give him a burr, and he'll feel so much better for it afterwards. He'll be back to terrorising you for crunchies before you know it!
I know it's not nice for anyone, but this is someone speaking who had a bun who was so very, very dental that my Mum and I used to have to cut his incisors ourselves pretty much weekly.
NOTE. We had this bun (Jasmine) 17 years ago. His teeth were maligned so badly that the vet sold us the proper clippers and we did it under his supervision before doing so ourselves. Burring was not the technique used in those days so it's what we did. Not nice, but better than a suffering bun
Hope vets goes well.

I hope its just a routine burring that he needs.
The little tyke will be good as new in no time.
