🐇 Martin: an old friend fighting again. And we’re right here.

Remember Martin? The 11-year-old dwarf lop we pulled back from the brink in February when he stopped eating due to a mouth ulcer and GI stasis. We broke that vicious cycle of pain and dehydration, and he went home.

This week, he came back. And his owners said the phrase that makes any rabbit vet’s heart sink: «He’s been grinding his teeth intensely for three days, non-stop, even in his sleep. He’s sitting hunched and squeaking. I feel like he’s suffering terribly.»

🌿 What this means:
Tooth grinding in a rabbit is not a «bad habit.» It’s a cry for help. It’s a sign of severe, exhausting pain that the rabbit can neither show nor endure in silence.

🌿 What we found:
We took bloodwork, kept him hospitalized, and started IV fluid therapy to relieve pain, rehydrate, and kickstart his gut. Bloodwork confirmed severe cachexia (exhaustion): low globulin, low iron, hypokalemia. His kidney with a cyst (known since 2023) is compensating. His liver is holding up for now. But his eyes, unfortunately, are failing: cataracts are progressing.

And most importantly — during the oral exam, we found no new pathologies. His teeth are in the same state as before, and correction isn’t needed. So, the source of pain isn’t his teeth. It could be related to anything, including internal organ strain due to general exhaustion.

🌿 Given his severe weight loss, we started intensive syringe-feeding with Jarsa. A rabbit must never go hungry — starvation is deadly for them (hepatic lipidosis).

🌿 Feeding schedule:
— Mix 10 g of formula with 60 ml of water.
— Feed with a 1 ml syringe (no needle).
— He needs to eat 30–40 ml per feeding.
— Weigh daily (goal: stop weight loss).

Martin is a senior rabbit with a whole bouquet of diseases. But he doesn’t give up. And neither do we. Fingers crossed. ❤️

🐇 Our regulars: Loy, Barney, and Lea are back in the clinic

This week, our long-time friends Loy, Barney, and Lea came to see us. We’ve been following all three of them for years now, and they feel like old friends with whom we just need to «sync our watches» from time to time.

🌿 Loy (dwarf rabbit, 6.5 years old) came in for his routine dental correction. He’s on a strict schedule. This time, we removed the spurs and leveled the crowns. Loy has some tooth mobility (309, 310) and elongation. For now, we are just monitoring them and adjusting the clinical crowns. If these teeth start causing problems, we will consider extraction. But right now, he is stable.

🌿 Barney and Lea — an inseparable pair of mini lops who came in together.
Barney (2 years old, 1200 g) is our palliative patient with general malocclusion. We performed dental correction. He has purulent discharge and a gum pocket under tooth 109, so his oral cavity needs very careful monitoring.
Lea (4 years old, 1810 g) also has general malocclusion. This time, we found a buccal spur (107) and pathological mobility of four teeth at once (310, 309, 409, 410). We performed the correction.
Since the pair was staying in our hospital, we took the opportunity to vaccinate both of them against RHDV and myxomatosis and treated them with Selamectin.

🌿 Loy, Barney, and Lea are a perfect example of why routine check-ups work. All three have advanced dental disease, but because their owners bring them in like clockwork (every 2–3 months), we manage to correct their teeth before they start cutting into the tongue or causing abscesses. Barney and Lea have already undergone complex surgeries (marsupialization, LECA), yet they live full lives, eat hay, and make their owners happy.

Thank you to the owners who don’t skip routine corrections. Teeth require lifelong management, and you’re doing everything right. ❤️

🐇 Meet our Head of Quality Control

In the frame is our Belgian Hare, Pivas. He came to check how Dmitry is handling his duties. Judging by Pivas’s face, Dmitry is doing an excellent job (the main thing is to hold him tight — this guy is big!).

Our own rabbits are our motivation. And our safe haven after complex surgeries.

Do you have a «supervisor» like this at home? ❤️

🐇 Four neuters in a few days

Over the past few days, four rabbits have gone through our operating room for planned neutering. We hadn’t had many males lately, and suddenly — a whole flow of them! 😁

And you know what’s nice? One of them traveled to us all the way from Tula. That’s not «on the way» — it was a deliberate decision by the owner to bring their pet over 180+ kilometers just to have the surgery done where they specialize specifically in rabbits.

For us, it’s not just a reason to be proud. It’s a reminder that rabbit neutering shouldn’t be treated as «routine» that any vet in any clinic can do.

🌿 Why do we pay so much attention to neutering?
Because for rabbits, it’s not just about «removing hormones.»
— For females, it’s a lifesaving necessity (the risk of uterine tumors reaches up to 80% after age 3).
— For males, it’s often a solution to behavioral issues (aggression, spraying) and the prevention of specific prostate problems we see in older unneutered males.

🌿 And most importantly — it’s a surgery where these are critical:
1. Anesthesia protocol.
2. Surgeon’s experience.
3. Post-operative monitoring.
Thank you to the owners for their trust — and for not postponing planned surgeries.

🐇 Johnny: the spurs that made chewing painful

Johnny is a 6-year-old Satin dwarf rabbit, weighing 1640 g. He’s our long-term patient and has been coming in for dental corrections for a very long time — practically on a schedule. This time, we performed another planned correction under anesthesia.

🌿 What we found:
General malocclusion. Buccal spurs on teeth 209, 210, and 408. This means his teeth had overgrown and started catching his cheek with every jaw movement. He couldn’t chew properly and was in discomfort.

🌿 What we did:
Performed correction of the clinical crowns using diamond burs and discs. Removed the spurs and smoothed the surface. Anesthesia went smoothly, recovery was uneventful. No complications.

Malocclusion isn’t just «crooked teeth.» Rabbit teeth grow continuously. If they don’t wear down evenly (due to improper bite or a lack of tough hay), spurs form. They cut into the tongue and cheeks, cause pain, and the rabbit stops eating — which triggers a chain reaction: GI stasis, intoxication, and liver problems.

🌿 What’s next:
— Monitor weight (weight loss is the first sign that something is wrong).
— Repeat correction and check-up in 3 months, or sooner if symptoms appear (drooling, refusing food, «chewing air»).

Johnny did great. And so did his owners, who have been keeping an eye on his teeth for years and never miss a visit. Teeth need lifelong management. But with the right approach, a rabbit can live a long, pain-free life. ❤️

🐇 Stesha: «Something is sticking out of her bum»

Stesha is a 9.5-year-old dwarf lop, weighing 1900 g. She came in with a complaint that makes any owner’s eyes go wide: «something is coming out of her anus.» On examination, we found a massive, straw-colored mass in the a**l area.

Our preliminary diagnosis is an anore**al polyp. It’s not hemorrhoids or a re**al prolapse, as owners often assume. But we don’t know for sure what it is yet. The mass was large and caused severe swelling around the urethra. Because of this, Stesha started urinating on herself, and urine constantly soaked her right hind leg. This led to severe urine dermatitis — the fur on her leg fell out, and the skin became inflamed.

🌿 What we did:
We removed the mass using an electrosurgical knife (under local anesthesia and mild sedation) because it was interfering with her life and causing the dermatitis. The tissue was sent for histopathology to determine its exact nature.

🌿 What else we found:
— External otitis (ear ca**l stenosis).
— History of hepatic lipidosis (July 2026).

🌿 Why we recommended a contrast CT scan of the abdomen:
We need to assess the malignancy of the mass we removed. If it’s a malignant tumor, a CT scan will show whether it has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. Histopathology will give us the cellular answer, while the CT will show the big picture in the body. Only then can we create the right plan for the future.

What’s next:
— Waiting for histopathology and CT results.
— Treating the leg with chlorhexidine and zinc ointment.
— Pain relief.
— Strict diet (no fruit or bananas, only hay and grain-free pellets).

Stesha is a senior rabbit. And her case is a reminder that any mass in the a**l area (or anywhere else) requires a vet exam and histopathology. We don’t know what it was. But we removed what was making her life miserable, and now we wait for the results to decide what to do next. ❤️

🐇 Lapulya: why a «routine check-up» is not just a formality

Lapulya is a 5-year-old dwarf rabbit. He came in for his regular dental correction (he has them almost monthly), and we decided to combine it with a full check-up.

You’d think we know everything about him. But the check-up revealed what we would have missed if we had just trimmed his teeth and sent him home.

🌿 What we found:
— Liver: Enlarged and hyperechoic on ultrasound. Signs of chronic hepatopathy.
— Prostate: Enlarged (0.98 cm). A common issue in unneutered males.
— Kidneys: Signs of mineralization. Requires monitoring.
— Bloodwork: No anemia. Minor fluctuations in eosinophils and electrolytes.

🌿 What we did:
Performed dental correction, took bloodwork, and did an ultrasound. Recommended neutering (for the prostate) and liver support. We can combine the neutering with his next dental correction to avoid extra anesthesia.

🌿 Why this matters:
Owners often think: «We just came for teeth, why do an ultrasound?» Lapulya is a perfect example of why routine check-ups matter even when the rabbit seems fine. We caught the liver and prostate issues early, before they became a surgical emergency.

Don’t forget about preventive care. ❤️

🐇 How long does a rabbit live? And why we always talk about 10–12 years.

We get asked this all the time. Especially when a rabbit receives a serious diagnosis.

Owners often rely on old-school experience: «My grandma’s rabbit lived to be 3, and that was normal.» Or: «The internet says rabbits live 5 years.»

Let’s be honest: 5 years is not normal. It’s an early death.

With proper housing, diet, and — most importantly — timely veterinary care, a rabbit should live to be around 10 years old.

Why do so many die at 3–5?
Because their owners don’t know the basics:
— They feed grain-based pellets and fruit instead of hay (leading to dental and GI issues).
— They don’t spay females (by age 3–4, the risk of uterine cancer is up to 80%).
— They skip routine check-ups (diseases are only caught when it’s too late).
— They think: «The rabbit isn’t showing pain, so it must be fine.» (They do show it — we just don’t see it.)

We’re not saying this to scare you. We’re saying it so you understand: a rabbit is not a hamster that lives for 2 years. It’s a full-fledged family member that, with the right approach, will live with you for almost a decade.

And if your rabbit is 5, 6, or 7 years old — that’s not «old age.» That’s maturity. And right now, they need your attention and regular check-ups more than ever.

Take care of them. They don’t have as much time as we’d like. But they have enough to live a happy life — if we help them. ❤️

🐇 Vasilisa: a marathon lasting a year and a half

Remember Vasilisa, our orange-and-white Dutch rabbit? We wrote about her in September when we removed another «spiral» tooth. Let’s look back to understand the scale of this journey.

Since April 2025, she has undergone a spay, multiple tooth extractions (409, 410, 411, 309, 307, 308, 310, 311, 111), and four marsupializations of lower jaw abscesses.

🌿 What happened this time:
At her last visit (22.10.2026), we performed another dental correction under anesthesia and cleaned the cavity in the left lower jaw, placing CollaPlap. Bloodwork showed the liver is suffering from chronic intoxication (ALT 103, AST 49), so we added a liver protectant.

🌿 Why this matters:
Malocclusion isn’t just «crooked teeth.» It’s a progressive process. Teeth grow continuously, reserve crowns elongate, spurs form, and abscesses and osteomyelitis develop.

In 2023, the journal JAVMA published a study of 200 cases of odontogenic abscesses in rabbits. It showed that a radical surgical approach (removing all infected teeth and affected bone) is an effective method. Average healing time is about 40 days, and infection recurrence occurred in only 8% of cases.

Vasilisa is exactly that kind of case. We have removed everything that could be removed on the affected side. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. But she’s coping. And we’re with her at every step. ❤️

🐇 Alice: a long battle with teeth

Sometimes we treat a rabbit for years. Alice is a 3-year-old dwarf Angora. Over the past year, she has undergone three incisor extraction surgeries (102, 201, 202, 301), a spay, conjunctivitis, and now she came back refusing her favorite pellets and sitting hunched over in a pain posture.

🌿 What we found:
On examination — the only remaining incisor, tooth 301, had started to grow abnormally again.

🌿 What we did:
We removed tooth 301. Started IV fluids to relieve pain and rehydrate. In the hospital, Alice quickly improved: overnight she produced a large amount of stool and had a good appetite. We discharged her the next morning.

🌿 Why this matters:
Rabbit incisors grow continuously. Even when extracted, germinative tissue can remain, and the tooth can grow back (as it did with Alice). That’s just how their bodies work. And the pain from an improperly growing tooth is masked by the rabbit until the very last moment — until they stop eating.

🌿 What’s next:
— Strict diet control (hay 80–90%, pellets 20 g per day).
— Monitoring of the oral cavity.
— Vaccination against RHDV and Myxomatosis (every 6 months).

Alice is a true fighter. And so are her owners: they come in, they monitor, they never give up. That’s exactly how the «vet — patient — owner» team should work.

Take care of yours. And watch their teeth — they don’t hurt until it’s too late. ❤️
