Wet fur

Ever since yesterday, my rabbit has had the area under his mouth and chin wet. Does anyone know what this might be?

[align=center]I'm not experienced with this, but I've heard it being associated with heat stroke and/or teeth problems. Definitely check his teeth.. I hope he's okay!

This doesn't really need to be in the Infirmary, for now, I'll move it to the reg rabbits online forum, plus, you'll get a few more responses there is anyone else has ideas that they've experienced.

He may have overgrown molars or incisors that may need trimming and aren't wearing down normally. What kind of hay do you feed?

But, I've noticed this time to time w/ my buns, sometimes, if you are catching them after getting a drink of water, will be wet.

Here's a link from the library about teeth issues:

In my experience when one of my buns had the same problem it was due to her teeth. She ened up losing almost all her fur under her chin

Sounds like teeth problems if it's consistent. My buns usually have wet chins after drinking or eating veggies, but if it's persistent long after meal time I would say teeth.

I'm with everyone else....teeth. Time for a vet visit.
