scratching his jaw

[golfdiva]

Hershey recently had a check up and was given a clean bill of health, but like a dufus I forgot to mention this to the vet.

Hershey often scratches at his jaw, both sides. He gets flea meds every month and doesn't scratch anywhere else.

At his check up the vet looked at his teeth, all the way back, and this is a very good rabbit vet. He didn't mention any problems.

Could his scratching be a sign of molar problems, or something else? or just a habit? or something else?

Thanks!

Scratching could be a sign of dental issues, but since he's had a check up recently, I don't think that's a problem. He may just enjoy scratching his jaw. Or, perhaps he has some whiskers growing in and that makes him itchy. But, check his jaw to see if there's any swelling or hair loss, just to be safe.

keep an eye on it, but most of ours scratch for no apparent reason.

Thanks!

He loves for me to scratch him there too. I don't feel anything unusual, so maybe it just feels good!
