I would kind of hate to let it get to that stage.

OK, i will look into those greens...she hatesbroccoli, has never had bok choi. Carrots would have to be limited ofcourse. The way she's going at her chew stick i'm not sure the spursstand a chance!:) When should i have her re-examined to check on them? Loose hay....i've had many adventures...

Now i'm wondering, with such minor spurs, maybei should just try a diet change & then take her back for are-exam after a certain time & see if the spurs are stillthere? For one thing it'll cost about $100 to have them ground down.

I would add, tho, that altho Daisy does not get a lot of pellets or hard veggies, she always has timothy cubes to chew on. I've also added loose timothy hay, since i've heard that may workbetter than cubes to prevent spurs, altho none of my other rabs everhad spurs & they always rejected...

OK, i'll call them tomorrow. If anyone knows about Dr Mitterling at Eastbrook Animal Hospital, Mansfield, i'd like to hear.

Thanks, all. The spurs are not affecting hereating at all. She only gets 1/8 cup pellets a day & no "hard"greens (examples?) so maybe that is the problem. I can't travel far for now but i think i can get to Marlborough. Do they use a sedative instead of gas?

OK, i know he's done a lot, he' s been here quite a while.

Right, but i'd like to get a client's-eye view.

It would be at least a month before i could getto the more distant vet. Should i get her done locally, or wait for the"numero uno" guy - bearing in mind this is not major surgery.

I know he has experience, knows not to fast the bun before surgery, & uses gas.

Daisy is diagnosed with slight molar spurs. Ihave a choice of a highly recommended vet almost 50 miles away, ora vet down the street with experience, who also does not fastthe rab & uses gas. His name has not come up in referrals, butis it worth going a long distance for this type of surgery...

If anyone has any word on East Brook Animal Hospital in Mansfield, please post.

I discovered that East Brook Animal Hospital inMansfield has a rabbit guy. I have no info on him, but he knows to havethe rab eat the night before.

Dr Amy Giddings in Norwichtown wants me towithhold food from Daisy the night before surgery for toothspurs. This is wrong, isn't it? Who is best to go to withinabout 30 miles of Willimantic?

Depends what you mean by cuddled... Daisy hasher cage on a stand right next to my chair & my hand is on hermuch of the day - she's never yet refused a pet.:)

I'm taking my Daisy to the Norwichtown Hospital next week for her first annual checkup & a nail rim, so will report.:)

It may be worth mentioning that the vet may work with you to arrange a payment plan if needed.

Guilty as charged.:) I myself was not very aware of these archives & suggestionsthat are in place. I think that underscores the problem. But,unless duplicate links are using up too much bandwith i think they areactually a good thing if posted in the appropriate context, so that theoriginal...

Yes, attention really needs to be called tothose. We have Stickies on various topics right in each of our forumboards, yet some people still fail to see them (& the Searchbutton) & post questions on those topics. There will always besome of that but there are ways of reducing it.

I think it's the way this site is organised.People naturally go to Forums instead of the other headings. I think toget more people going to Bunny 101 it would have to be more prominenton the site, such as being set up as a Sticky in the Forum section,with a heading that says "Read this before...
