Ok so one of my pet rabbits Alfie went into get his molar spurs done today. I knew they weren't to bad but he also needed his front teeth clipped and Alfie doesnt like heights so I figured best to get both done while he was under.
anyway when they went to do the first spur one of his back teeth fell out and on checking he has a gum infection so basically all his back teeth are wobbly because they are sitting on puss he has been given antibiotics for us to give him by injection but my questions are
is this likely to lead to abcesses?
do back teeth regrow? ( i know front teeth constantly grow but dont know about back ones)
can rabbits do ok without back teeth?
I suppose I am a bit worried about the fact that he won't have a tooth to grind against the other one for chewing
BTW Alfie is acting fine at no point before or after is he behaving in pain or not eating he is perfectly happy other than not speaking to me lol
thanks
