Yay, Eli! :) I'm proud of you!!! Isn't it funny, Laura, how proud you can feel when your bunny does so well at the v-e-t??? They are little troopers!!! :) Denali did so good at the v-e-t on Saturday...I was bursting my buttons!!! Plus, sometimes they get to be ambassadors of the bunny world (Bella has corrected me, I mean RIFRAF) to others! People in the waiting room, nurses, etc. :)
Yay! <binkies> all around here for Eli's steady recovery and getting to keep his toofie! :) Laurie Laura Tyler wrote:
Great news. At Eli's molar trim appointment yesterday, Eli's fractured molar had grown out from beneath the gum-line enough to be cleanly clipped, leaving a white, healthy, firm in the socket tooth. Previously, the discovered fractured molar was firm in the socket and discolored (thought to be food stain). This was Eli's first known fractured molar. In the past, sometimes between dental visits, Eli would have a molar become loose and fall out or down his throat. Dr Jenkins suspects he swallowed them. So hooray, Eli's very worrisome tooth is safe and healthy. I'm delighted Eli is able to keep his toofie! We've been very blessed. Though Eli has ongoing dental, he has never been found to have an infection. His teeth, crooked though they be have always been found to be healthy. Eli's improved tooth alignment is holding steady. He continues to have 2 molars that form spurs, down from 5 in the past. Good news all around! Quick re-cap. Eli has been treated for molar spurs since age 2 and will be 8 in Dec. Dr Jenkins believes we will one day achieve perfect alignment and need no further molar trim appointments. I'm so proud of Eli. He is doing terrific. Oh, also, Eli's doctor was most pleased at his weight gain of 3 ounces. Eli has always been on the light end of the scale and Jenkins has always wanted to see more weight on Eli. Though Eli has been good not to loose weight between appointments, he never gained. Eli has always been lean, and with age keeping his weight up is more of a challenge as he is a happy little nibbler. All in all, a great appointment and we are good for another 6-8 weeks. :-) Thankfully Eli is not loosing anymore molars. Laura (Eli's dentist was open on a holiday!) Eli (I'm a traveling bunny!)
