Rescue case - Thimble the mini lop
Posted: 18 Mar 2015 16:29
We were asked to take a female rabbit as the previous owners said they were having the male put to sleep. We asked why and they told us it was because he had bad teeth and didn't want to keep getting dentals done. We offered to take both rabbits and they agreed.
This is Thimble, a mini lop. As you can see, his teeth are misaligned and were causing sores on his tongue and lip.
We had his front teeth removed and he is doing very well now.
Here is an x-ray of Thimble. The line drawn by the vet is where his roots should stop. As you can see, they are growing higher than they should be. However, now he has had his front teeth removed, his back teeth should improve too.
Here is Thimble with his wife. He is doing well at the moment, but isn't ready to be rehomed just yet. When he is ready, these two will need a home together.

I'm sure he will improve now his teeth have been removed, I know my gummy bunnies get along fine without them
