The Importance of Rabbit Dental Care:
Did you know that dental issues are among rabbits' most common health problems? Your rabbit's teeth grow continuously. Consequently, this leads to severe discomfort, pain, and potentially life-threatening dental problems if it is not managed correctly. This is why proper rabbit dental care in Northampton is essential for supporting your rabbit’s overall health and happiness.
Signs of Dental Issues in Rabbits:
The last thing any responsible pet owner wants is to know that they are in pain or suffering. Therefore, being able to recognise the signs of dental problems early can make all the difference for your rabbit’s health and happiness. Rabbit dental care can have an immense impact on your pet’s quality of life. This can be especially true if they have an urgent dental issue that requires immediate treatment.
The best thing you can do for your rabbit is to keep an eye out for the following symptoms:
- Excessive drooling.
- Swelling forming around their face which may be due to a dental abscess.
- A decline in your rabbit’s appetite or completely refusing to eat. Dental issues may have become painful for your rabbit to eat or chew their food. You may also notice that your rabbit chooses to only eat softer food rather than their usual varied diet. This must be monitored to prevent any significant weight loss.
- A decrease in the number of faecal pellets. This may be another indicator that your rabbit has had a change in their diet or appetite.
- Additionally, reduced ability or inability to eat their caecotrophs, the small faeces-like balls that rabbits produce after they’ve eaten their food once. They then re-ingest these to ensure that they receive all the energy, nutrients, and vitamins from their food. This is a completely normal aspect of their dietary behaviour. This may become more obvious if your rabbit develops a ‘messy bum’.
