ChrisP Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 One of my rabbits has suddenly (over a few weeks) lost a lot of weight, she weighs next to nothing and is skin and bones. But, she is eating, and will happily munch on carrot when offered. Also, the fur below her mouth looks like it has been wet, and dried again in a 'scruffy' way, but I do not know why. Has anyone got any suggestions about why either of these two things are happening? Thanks PS// How do I manage to check her teeth without getting bitten!!??

cathybc Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 to be honest, I would take her to the vet - they can see into their mouths much better than we can with the naked eye, they have something that looks a bit like the doctor uses to look down your ears ? As she has lost lots of weight, I really would get her checked out. Fingers crossed for you x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisP Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sorry, update time! I've been busy and not had time to write here, but she is fine now! Teeth needed a little filing or something, but she is back to normal. Still kind of skinny, but that could be to old age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
