Janet, Marcy said the lack of bicillin is a big problem everywhere...I have
heard it is because of covid ( no workers), but you just cant get it anywhere.
I recently used some bicillin I had in the fridge ( it had expired) but it
still worked...so I would use what you have on hand, it should be fine.
Love,Evonne

Subject: Re: Question about Roo
To: Katy <healing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Thanks for your input, Katy, I wonder if Robert does have an infection back
there? But I can feel the points on his back teeth, how did she knock them
off? I have dremeled many hares teeth with malocclusions and even Spurs but
roberts mouth is so tiny….I would never cut teeth with clippers as I would also
be afraid of cracks. I’ve never had a problem though with using a portable
dremel. I went and ordered a contraption to keep the mouth open but not sure if
I’ll even use it. I will have to give him a bit of Valium to relax him, I have
to do something now, and I have no where to take him, I have had to brave a lot
of things because rehabbing so many hares and cottontails…I would try if you
could tell me,I can feel the points with my fingers in the back. I agree, they
will only get worse since I, force feeding, I have only seen Robert pick up a
piece of dill and eat it.
I have also thought of giving him penicillin injections but I can’t buy it in
California here. If anyone could send me some of course I would pay for it and
for the trouble. Can you send some? I only have one expired bottle that has
never been used in the refrigerator but the expiration is 2017. Sadly, I
purchased it in 2020 and I didn’t even realize it was expired til I went to use
it. The laws are ridiculous here…
Thanks for your input
Love to you
Janet

Oh that's so difficult not being able to get Roo to a bunny savvy vet Janet.
Sounds like Moo's mouth as he is a small bun with a tinier mouth!
A friend of mine does (controversially) knock molar spurs off herself in her
buns. Not burring just knocking them off. She has done this for another friend
of mine years ago who had a bunny who'd regularly develop molar spurs. It is
problematic tho as it can cause a tooth to fracture which can then cause much
bigger problems like infection and tooth loss. I've not gone to this point
(yet!) but thought I'd mention it. She hadn't had issues with this approach but
others might. Or perhaps she wasn't aware of other issues relating to this
further down the line.
The thing with their toothy problems like this is on a soft food diet it's only
going to get worse. Does he try and chew on anything at all? The reason I ask
is that when Moo was suffering with a lot of jaw pain from a hidden tooth
infection he kept trying to eat things that were too tough for his jaw. This
was before I knew what the problem was. He'd chew on tiny thin hazel twigs when
he wouldn't eat anything else. This I think kept his teeth trim. If there was
any way Roo might chew on a twig he might knock a molar spur off himself. So
knocking the spurs off can be a natural part of them eating.
That sounds like a super yummy mix of foods! He's so lucky to have you as bunny
mum.
Love Katy xxx

Hello katy,
I have an elder bun who just has a horrible time eating. I believe he has molar
Spurs, I know how to dremel incisors and also have on hares but his mouth is
too small. I am in a real dilemma here as there are no vets that can see him
right away and only one who I don’t even know how really rabbit savvy she is
can’t see him foe 2 months, it’s horrible here. I only have one vet who will
spay, neuter and check for simple problems, but can’t do surgery. My bunny’s
name is Robert. I have been grinding up his sherwood Saryx recovery food along
with b12, probiotics and a multi also I add his normal greens, dandelions,
parsley, cilantro, dill or fennel and add baby pumpkin food to the mix with
water and syringe feed him in the morning and in the evening, he can only eat
soft foods like aa banana, I don’t see sores in his mouth but I can feel sharp
Spurs. Any ideas? I love this little guy so much and beside myself not being
able to get him in to see a vet.
If I had the equipment, I’d file the molar Spurs myself..😢
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks
Janet
