Poor Charlie - at vet's on Easter Sunday...

"Where is that Easter Bunny" said my vet when he called us into the surgery today... Yes, we had to go to the emergency vet today with - Charlie! She hasn't eaten last night, nor this morning and though didn't look particularly ill, but it worried me of course.

So off we went and Ian, our vet, looked at her and her teeth. One side of the jaw looked ok'ish ("I've seen worse" Ian said)... then he looked at her left side and didn't like what he saw: big spurs digging into her cheeks - and a very small growth.

Now, Charlie is 7 years old and has never been sick for even a day in her life. So it was a big surprise for me. It looks like the growth may be slightly uncomfortable (she moved away when Ian touched it) and may have caused her to chew unevenly because of it; hence the uneven wear of the teeth - as the diet certainly can't be a culprit with any of my rabbits.

Ian has given her a motility drug injection (and two more for me to do tomorrow) and I already had some metacam here. And thank god, Charlie is eating again now that the metacam has kicked in. So she will be fine until Tuesday morning when she will have the teeth filed down and the growth looked at.

As I said... not what you wish for an Easter Bunny - but for now, I am just glad that I know what it is and hopefully the growth turns out to be nothing too alarming either.


And here with her mate Magic
