just a question, do u have any idea if removing for example, upper RIGHT molars means we have to remove the bottom RIGHT molars too? cause they grind against each other? tQ~! my rabbit might need his molars removed too.
@BuNnieG4L It is customary for the opposing teeth to be removed, however, we chose to leave most of Stella's opposing teeth with the idea we would remove them at a later date, if needed. She has done very well, so far, but I do have to take her in every few months to have the remaining molars ground down and her incisors trimmed. Two decision points is the stress on your rabbit and the cost of removing the healthy teeth versus the stress and cost of having them ground down every few months.
