"I came to you as my vet had gone on holiday," the rabbit owner had consulted several vets over her rabbit's malocclusion. Vet 1 had extracted the 4 front teeth in April, but the rabbit developed left eye tearing which Vet 1 could not resolved. Another vet did eye irrigation and antibiotic sensititvity test. The rabbit's eyes recovered.

Now the right eye has tears and a prolpased 3rd eyelid. Fluorescein eye stain test showed 3 green corneal ulcers. The cause was painful corneal ulcerations, not the eruption of a small front tooth.

The owner was satisfied. An E-collar for 7-14 days is recommended.
