Abstract

ABSTRACT:Dental disease is a common reason rabbits are presented to the veterinary surgery. Owners of rabbits often seek advice and support about the signs of dental clinical conditions, what causes them and the role they can play in their management. The veterinary nurse plays a key role in providing this support. Rabbits are prone to developing dental disease if their teeth, which continuously grow and erupt, are not worn down sufficiently. The clinical signs of dental disease most commonly include anorexia or reduced appetite and decreased faecal pellet production. Diet plays a key role in the cause, management and prevention of this condition in pet rabbits.
