this can't be right?

feed it with stuff that makes it grind it's teeth and you shouldn't put it down unless you can't control the bunnies teeth growth which you can by feeding it the right things
like
spinach
selleri
broccoli
cabbage (only like a leaf or two a day)
carrots (only in small amounts)
cauliflower

always give it at least three of the things each day!

And hay

Don't forget the hay

Lots and lots of hay

>>2060215

here's a handy triangle OP

>>2060274
Is this the same for guinea pigs?

>>2060285
You NEED a source of vitamin C in a guinea pigs diet. They cannot synthesise their own, and without it they will get scurvy and die.

You need guinea pig pellets too. Guinea pig food will have added vitamin C.

Like rabbits, they need timothy hay available at all times.

So it's mainly making sure you have guinea pig pellets and not rabbit ones so they get the vitamin C they need, otherwise it's pretty similar.

I can't help but suspect your vet is taking you for a ride, OP.

Op here

Thanks all for the replies. She's always had everything she needs in terms of hay, she's well looked after. From the sound of its a congenital problem and she'll always be in pain.

At first I thought the vet was just adding to the bill to suit themselves and that she could be saved. On reflection I think we've been in denial about making a hard choice.

I have to agree with this poster to some extent. I feel the vet is probably offering a chance to spend £1000 (the new figure) for the operation plus ongoing sedation and teeth cutting in order to keep the rabbit alive.

While we'd be happy to spend 1000+ with a good prognosis it seems cruel to have her go for surgery and go through all that when she's struggling to get weight back on.

Blood test result is in today. If it's bad it makes the (awful) decision easier at least. If not, I still can't see any other way.

I've rung RSPCA and various animal shelters and the advice has been clear; don't keep an animal in pain. While she seems fine, her condition is set to deteriorate, the only question now seems to be when not if to take the plunge.

Have you done some of your own research online and talked to people experienced with rabbits on rabbit boards?

My experience with 90% of vets has been complete BS.

My dog was diagnosed with "terminal lung cancer" by a vet. It was all bullshit--he didn't have cancer and he lived five years after his "terminal" diagnosis.

Cook him and brag about eating a 1000£ rabbit. Honestly, who spends that kind of money on a stupid rabbit, you can have a new one for 10£, unless you developed some faggot bonds with a stupid rat ofc.

Anon, you accidentally clicked /an/.

>>2060679
Kinda this even tho he is a faggot

OP dont waste so much money on it. I had a rabbit too and the vets wanted to do the exact same shit as yours. My mom aint smart and shes much too kind so she wasted tons of money. Its just a rabbit feed it well and see how it goes.

>don't keep an animal in pain.
They're right. It's cruel. You need to provide the best level of care you can to your animals, and sometimes that means euthanasia.
