So to set the scene a bit: about a week ago, my rabbit started acting out of sorts, not eating, not pooping, etc. We took him to the vet, and he's on a course of antibiotics at the moment. They seem to have helped, as he's started eating and drinking again, even if he's not quite as lively as usual yet.
The thing is, he keeps getting some sort of white stuff on his front bottom teeth. (See pic below where ive marked where it is in red) We asked the vet about it, and he shrugged it off and said it was just food... but it comes back every day. I clean it off with a cotton bud, and the next day it's back. He seems to have trouble eating some things (large pellets, etc) too - he responds enthusiastically when i give him food, but sometimes he spits bits out :/
So I just wondered if anyone had seen this white stuff on the the teeth before, and if anyone can tell me whether it's anything I should be worrying about? He has a small gap between his two bottom teeth too, which gets filled in with this white stuff and isn't clear on the photo. I don't know if this is normal?
Thanks
Here is a link to the picture, since I can't seem to add it to the post:
