okay so i finally got a good look at my rabbits teeth (the rabbit i adopted yesterday) and they look pretty bad to me, but i'm "new" to rabbits (been 16+ yrs since i've had one). he only has one upper tooth and it's way crooked and looks very painful. the bottoms don't look as bad, but as you can imagine not all the damage was done to the top ones. just wondering what i have to look forward to when i take him to the vet thurs. will they pull the top tooth out completely or just file it down (i would assume filiing it down will just cause more pain to him since the tooth is so crooked (it's almost laying completely sideways))? i know different vets/where you live = different vet costs, but my other question is just in general how much approx. does it cost for what he'll need done? i definitely wasn't execting to pay a $400+ vet bill the first week i have him, but i guess it's my fault for not looking at his teeth closer when i got him from the no kill shelter.
and yes he is also going to be getting a full blood work up and a calicivirus vaccination (my cat has had calicivirus in the past so is still a carrier of it and i don't wanna take any chances of anything being passed to him for whatever reason (not that he'll be that close to the cat most of the time anyway)).
oh yeah and if they do pull the tooth then what do i have to look forward to? any complications with eating, drinking, etc. that i will have to worry about?
