I've mentioned this in other blogs, but I am curious how many other holland lop owners are dealing with a situation similar to mine.
My male holland lop is 8 months old, and has already had his teeth trimmed due to eye issues and such. Because of his young age, I am concerned what the future will hold for him. As the vet has told me, he will have to be put under every 3-4 months in order to have his teeth trimmed. The vet had explained that even with proper care, he may suffer from the stress of going to the vet and having his teeth trimmed. As you can see, this is extremely troubling and I worry about his well being. I provide chew toys but from what I understand, even chew toys can not provide the proper trimming that his teeth need. I also have come to find out that this is common in the holland lop breed due to the small flat face, and cross breeding.
Out of curiosity, has anyone else dealt *successfully* with this issue, and what advice, if any, can you give me in dealing with this issue.
Your advice is very much appreciated.
