Max with his long tooth sticking outMax is a long-standing patient of our hospital. Two years ago, Max went through a substantial operation to have his incisors surgically removed as they were misaligned (a common occurrence in rabbits) and causing him difficulties in eating. This in turn caused considerable pain and loss of condition. Despite this, one of his lower incisors grew back! Rabbits' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime as they wear them down so much.

Nibbles came to see the team at Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital because his owners were worried about his eye. Nibbles' right eye was swollen, closed shut, red and had discharge. Due the present outbreak of myxomatosis in Melbourne, Nibble's owners were worried that he may have been affected by this deadly virus. Because of this concern, they had brought him up to Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital at the first sign of ill health.

Max is an 18 month old dwarf rabbit who has been visiting us regularly at Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital to have his front incisor teeth trimmed. Max's front teeth grow too long because he has an overbite, which means the top and bottom teeth are not rubbing and wearing on each other.

When Lilly the rabbit first came into our veterinary hospital she had a severe skin wound to one of her toes. She had injured her paw after being spooked by a thunderstorm, and had lacerated the skin leaving exposed underlying tissue.

Humans, dogs and cats are not the only species that can get dental problems - so can rabbits! Dusty is a 3 year old rabbit who came to Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital because he had stopped eating, drinking for two days. He had even stopped eating bananas, which are his favourite food! Dusty's owner was very worried about this change in appetite and rushed him in to see the vet.

‘Roy Boy' is a four-year-old budgie who came to see us at PVVH because he had a lump on his wing edge. The lump had been growing slowly, and when it started to ulcerate ‘Roy Boy's' owner thought it best to have the lump removed. Dr Gus agreed that this was the best option, and ‘Roy Boy' was admitted to surgery that day.

Max who is a 6 year old rabbit was brought in to see us at Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital because his very observant owner had noticed that he was passing fewer faeces than usual and he had stopped eating his hay.

Here at Pascoe Vale Veterinary Hospital we don’t only treat cats and dogs, we also take care of pocket pets, the small and furry pets that are sometimes forgotten by others.
