        I have a fairly young rabbit, she is just about to turn two, and her incisors are very bad. We have taken x rays and she does have dental disease. She is a rescue bunny of mine. So one incisor has rotted and fallen out multiple times before breaking off above the gum line. The other one is small, and at an angle and grows way too fast. The bottom ones aren’t too bad but we are going to remove them all. Has anyone ever done this surgery before, how did the bunny do after? I have put it off for a year, and she got worse, she still is a very hungry crazy bunny, but she can not eat anything hard, no carrots, pellets, etc. and we have to cut everything up for her anyway. What do y’all think?

          Ive not had this surgery done for my rabbits personally, but a friend recently had her 7yr old netherland dwarf bun have his incisors removed. He’s been doing great!

          I know some rescues do this a lot also.
          From what I understand, the rabbits manage food really well. They pull normal long stands into the mouth and chew with the molars. But removing the malocclusion at the front, their molars should wear better. So you might actually find her whole dental situation improves and she can eat easier! Fingers crossed that is the case.

          Im curious about the incisor that is broken off. Is there enough of the “crown” left for the vet to pull the entire root out?
