Hi all, one of my 3 freeranging buns has had an accident.
She has lost a bottom tooth and a lot of weight as she cant eat.
I am syringing food in to her : mashed pellets, carrot,beans,celery and vitamin sup blended into a mash then into a syringe. She is accepting it well, though if she cant keep up with me it dribbles onto her chin and burlap.
I have her inside where it is warm, we are still in winter here.
I found the injury yesterday, she doesnt run up to me like the other 2 do and I have noticed over the last 2 weeks that she has lost weight. I put it down to worms.
Anyhow I offered her chopped carrot which she tried to eat but then i noticed blood on her chin so I caught her, picked her up from behind and had a look at her mouth.
She has 2 top teeth and only 1 bottom tooth.
I think she must have jumped up onto something and fell off. No other signs of injury. except she had faeces stuck at her behind which I have cleared.
she hasnt pooped at all. perhaps due to fasting.
I have a friend who is a pharmacist and he said that paracetamol will be safe for her. I gave her 1/2 a tab in water in syringe 5 hours ago.
How long do teeth take to grow back???
Any suggestions for anything else that ive mentioned?
I have a friend who is a vet, she is in Malaysia but returns on Sunday, she will be coming here then, im hoping to be able to sustain her health until then.
I dont get paid till Wednesday and dont like to ask a vet for an account. Though bunbuns seems fine and not distressed.
She is weak and probably sore but im getting to that.
Ill wash her mouth with salt water tommorrow and give her fur a wipe as well to clean her up.
Its horrible to see your pets unwell, any advice????
even moral support!!!
