My bunny had tooth spurs filed down recently. She came to me with the problem, so I have no idea how long she'd been showing signs of pain, but the vet said she had a sizeable ulcer on her tongue from one of the spurs.
It's been a week since the procedure, and she's started doing the same sort of mouth movements that indicated to me that she originally had a problem (she's also pawing at her mouth occasionally) again. She was also spayed the same day so she was on metacam for 4 days after, and I'm wondering if the pain from the ulcer is apparent because I've stopped the pain killers. She wasn't showing ANY signs of discomfort in her mouth until the last couple of days.
Do ulcers take this long to heal? Could the vet have missed a spur? Could an infection have developed? She's making mouth sounds as I type this, so something clearly isn't right. Any advice greatly appreciated.
