Barney and Tess' Dad
Young Bun
We took Barney in yesterday for his 5th Dental since July! Basically we were asking what was best for him as it cant be a nice quality of life for him if he only goes a few weeks pain free and then has to have 3-4 weeks of uncomfortableness (if thats a word). We were getting upset and the Vet said she would have a word with the local Rabbit Vet Specialist. We left him there and within an hour they rang me up.
Apparently The specialist vet is trialling a new thing where they inject something in the pulp of the tooth that kills the root. So it stops growing altogether. The top tooth continues to grow but it obviously wears down on the bottom tooth still. We got all excited when the vet was telling us as we thought it was the end for Barney.
So any guys who have rabbits with teeth problems hopefully there is hope for us all!!
We booked him in for Wednesday next week, its more expensive as he has to have x rays first to make sure they can do it but when we made the appointment they said they would do the procedure then too! And we get to take him to the experienced rabbit vet.
SMiles all around and big fingers crossed hoping it works!!!
