Reminder not to let your buns chew metal grates. (lemm.ee)

Noticed right before going to bed that Blossom managed to break off her tooth near the root and it was just hanging horizontally out of her mouth, saber tooth rabbit style. Maybe partially due to the fact that her bottom incisor has been pulled out due to fractures about a month ago and is still regrowing. (Yes, the vet is a little exasperated at us.)

She's not sedated and getting X-rays. Thankfully vet could fit her in because non of the emergency clinics had a rabbit specialist available last night and I decided she didn't look in pain and was able to eat her greens and pellets so I waited 8 hours after noticing (11 hours after it would have happened) to take her in.

... I had checked over the enemy rabbits on the other side of the pen when I realized she'd gotten out of bedroom and had access and didn't think to check her over immediately.

Our idiot did the same thing. Wife freaked out, called multiple vets, etc. One ER trip later and he's chilling and eating treats like nothing happened.

🤣 ours is having a rough time because the vet trimmed the other incisor while she was at it and she was missing one that was growing back because it had broken (?) (her jaw and teeth haven't lined up well since a jaw injury a year ago).

Nothing critical care for a week won't fix. She's trying so hard for her hay
