4 rabbits had their teeth treated, and two of them are now in heaven!
I came to you with my rabbit, Dumbo, on a referral from the veterinary clinic. They did a CT scan of his jaw, and you determined that there was no way to help him. All of his teeth would have to be removed, which would be his death sentence. To prevent the same fate from happening to my other 8 rabbits, and to prevent their molars from also pushing through their jaws, I decided to have a CT scan of the other 8 rabbits as well (€260 each without treatment). According to your statement, the teeth of 5 rabbits were fine according to the CT scan, and nothing else needed to be done. With my Buttler, you said it would be enough to grind down his molars, and otherwise he wouldn't have any problems. Until then, Buttler was a healthy, happy rabbit who had no previous health problems! But after the visit with you, he stopped eating. I had to nurse him back to health. I called you on the emergency hotline on Saturday and you said, there's nothing I can do, give him a painkiller and otherwise I should have him put down. You also said on the phone, yes, his teeth were really bad! But then I start to wonder why you didn't do anything about it and told me that only the molars needed to be ground down? That was the reason I came to you with my animals, to spare them suffering and pain! YOU are the dental specialist! It's great, Doctor, that you have an emergency number, but then you just fob me off, even though YOU treated my rabbit! You also ground down the molars of my favorite rabbit, Ernest, and tore out a tooth. I had to have him put down shortly afterwards, and when I told you about it, you just said --> well, his teeth were much worse than Buttler the rabbit (both rabbits were healthy and died a few days after treatment, less than a week)! You didn't say anything about this to me (quite the opposite; you emphasized each time that the other teeth were fine!). And here's my question again: why didn't you do more with the teeth? It was important to you that we make appointments right away for regular molar grinding! Ernest was sedated twice at relatively short intervals (I specifically asked you if it wouldn't be too much for him). I think it was too much for his small body. Furthermore, I don't understand why, when you sedate animals, you don't take the necessary time to wait for the sedation to take effect? Also, to spare the animals the stress of being wrapped in a towel before being treated. I observed this, and therefore only gave you the last two rabbits for treatment once I was sure they were "asleep." I paid you a lot, but I don't care because my animals are worth it. I wanted to spare my animals pain and suffering. But that's exactly what happened to you, and I had to let go of my two favorite rabbits. Animals that, up until the day I entered your practice, were happy and completely problem-free rabbits. It was supposed to be a so-called routine treatment, i.e. grinding down their molars, and within a few days they died or I had to have them put down. All of my animals are so distraught and crawl into the furthest corner whenever I enter their enclosure 🙁 . Only God knows what you did to my animals. R.I.P. my beloved Ernest and R.I.P. my beloved Buttler. I wanted to protect you, and now you're in heaven! I am so incredibly sad!
And I will be happy to comply with your request not to contact you on the emergency hotline again! Don't worry, I will never set foot in your practice again because I am so attached to my animals!
