In reply to charlotte. Hi Charlotte. Always follow the advice of the Vet who has senior animal rather than someone online, but sometimes it is possible that you can increase the time interval to 10 to 12 weeks if the incisors are removed. The molars will still need doing and the problem will be that they won’t be visible. Therefore I would advise you continue doing exactly what you are doing.

Hi, my 8 month old rabbit has terrible malocclusion which was discovered under GA at castrate. He had a dental at this time on molars & incisors. 5 weeks later they are all really overgrown again! I have talked to my vet about possibly removing the incisors to see if that allows the molars to line up better. My vet has advised that this wont help the molars.
Can you please advise if you believe it would be worth removing the incisors, my vet is advising dentals every 6 weeks or euthanasia 🙁

Help! My 3 year old male holland lop is having recurring molar spurs!!!!! His diet is VERY good and he eats lots of hay all the time. He has tons of toys and hard chew toys and treats. Vet thought it just happened unfortunately despite his eating habits being healthy and I figured since he was a couple years at that point maybe it was just a little issue that would be fixed via dental surgery. His surgery went VERY well! However like 10 months ago was when this happened. I noticed the last week he has been acting SLIGHTLY off and his ears were a little hot and cold. Just got to the vet and confirmed his teeth are the issue again. On one molar on his one side the spur is growing and obviously needs another surgery. Anesthesia is very risky especially for rabbits and he’s currently getting blood work to make sure he should be okay for another surgery.. he’s my whole heart and he’s had multiple health issues, one where out of nowhere he had a seizure and nearly died. Yet he’s fought through every time so strong and so happy!!!!! He doesn’t deserve this 🙁 not to mention the stress and financial burden of it all! Does anyone have any suggestions as to maybe a change to his diet/type of hay or anything? Like I said his diet is pretty good! The vet said there’s nothing more I can do and he’ll unfortunately probably continue to get them. Please if anyone has any ideas as to how I can help my furbaby, let me know!
He’s on western Timothy oxbow hay, under a quarter cup of oxbow adult rabbit pellets, a bowl of fresh greens etc

In reply to Regan.. Hi Regan. It sounds like she needs to be investigated. Judging by your numbers, these are not incisors, and that’s a whole different ball game, usually involving disease of the mandible.

Hey team . My bunny has dental disease but it was only on the left hand side. But now on the right she has broken two teeth. Number 6 and 3 , number 3 we saved we shaved down to the split and just waiting for it to regrow. But now 3 weeks later number 5 and 1 has become a tiny bit loose. Is there a possibility that they will be okay once number 3 tooth grows back down. Can she survive with tiny bit of loose teeth. Can they go back to being tight ? And not ever have problems. We need the right side all teeth as she has nine left on the left side at all. Can everyone please pray for olly our bunny to keep her teeth. Xxx

In reply to Mina. Hi Mina. Sometimes injured incisors will recover and grow back to normal in time; it’s hard to tell. However, it’s a very good idea to spend the money on a rabbit vet visit just to get the incisors trimmed into a reasonable shape so that they are likely to wear correctly against the others and cause less problems in the meantime.

Hey, I have a question regarding my 6 year old rabbit.
It had to put it in a wire cage for a little bit which it didn’t like so it bit the wire cage bars, it then suddenly got a fright and pulled back really fast, cracking one tooth and had ever so slight nosebleed (maybe knocked its nose when it jumped back) and her one eye was teary the next day.

Though it did eat a little still the next day and relatively normal over the next few days.
It’s been a week, and I noticed she’s struggling to eat hay with her incisors.

Can the trauma she suffered cause misaligned incisors (it was always fine before)?
Her incisors are also now growing longer than usual and are still uneven.
I am so worried about what to do but my parents don’t have much money to spare.
What would u suggest I do?
Please help, thank you!

Hi, my rabbit has extremely over grown front teeth to the point his front teeth are nearly touching his nose.
Just wondering how much it would cost to have his teeth trimmed and filed down?
I’m located in Ascot park and have a concession card.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
