Ideally, the top front teeth of a rabbit will lap over the front bottom teeth. Since rabbit teeth grow, this positioning allows natural wearing to occur as the rabbit eats his food and hay.

Occasionally, the front teeth will butt. If the teeth are wearing normally (you don’t see any really long teeth), I would judge those teeth acceptable for a pet rabbit. Butting teeth is a showing disqualification, so if you are willing to accept a rabbit with non-problematic butting teeth, you may be able to adopt a gorgeous [otherwise] show-quality rabbit.

Are you concerned your pet is getting a bit large?

Recent research indicates that as many as 25 percent of cats and dogs in the Western world are Overweight. It seems that our pets are subject to similar situations, that we as humans are being introduced to. Weight issues are not only a concern for us but we need to keep our pets within their limits as well.

Question:

My German Shepherd is 12 years old and has Heartworms. He is
currently taking prednisone to make him comfortable. He has become very thin and lathargic. Is it too late to try the treatment you offer? I
just became aware of them.

Judy

Answer:

Hi Judy

Thank you for your e-mail. It must be very difficult for you to see
your German shepherd so unwell. It is not necessarily too late to treat
the Heartworm but due to the serious nature of this disease we don’t
recommend home treatment.
