Snuggles came to see me because
his teeth had grown too long! He was having difficulty eating carrots
and grooming himself. Rabbit teeth grow throughout their lives and
can cause problems if they do not continually wear down.
I clipped his teeth, which is effective but can hurt
sometimes and would need doing every month. Since Snuggles is only
a year old I advised that it would be best if his incisors were
removed.
Rabbits can be very sensitive to general anaesthetics so we take
great care to make them as safe as possible. Rabbit teeth have very
big roots, which can break during removal.
