My bunny has been struggling with dental problems for over a year now. He had a tooth abscess caused by a molar that was then removed. We had no issues for a while but then last October pus started to come out of his eye. An x-ray showed that his right, top molars are growing upwards into his jaw. We trim his teeth now, to relieve pressure but pus is still coming out of his eye. He was treated with antibiotics and antibiotic eye cream but these only helped in the short term (this was before we trimmed his teeth, though - maybe it would work better now? I've read Penicillin is effective to use with dental problems?).
The vet said we could operate and take his molars out but she doesn't really want to do it. She says the teeth would have to be taken out from the outside and it would be a very big procedure.
I don't really know how to decide and I really want to help him the best way I can.
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and I am very thankful for any advice. Thank you!
This is what his eye looks like now:
He is eating normally and he seems to be doing ok for now (pain-wise)
