Why is my rabbit's mouth damp? Is she drooling or is it dental?

Thanks for reaching out about Thumper and including photos. By the description and swelling on the right side of the face, a dental abscess is highly suspicious. The dental disease is making it difficult for Thumper to eat, therefore loosing weight. A veterinary visit is recommended, the sooner the better. Rarely do antibiotics solve this problem, might requiring some surgery or tooth extraction. Good luck.

Thanks for sending the pictures of Brit. It appears as if Brit has eye discharge, possibly from an infection or blockage of her tear ducts. The tears can not drain, and then course down the side of face, causing the hair to fall out. This can also be caused by dental disease. Grinding teeth is often an indication of pain. Her head is held down and eye closed, another sign she is not feeling well. By the pictures she also appears thin, as if she is not eating well. There is no human medicine or any medicines that can be prescribed without being seen by a veterinarian. You should try and see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Also rabbits need to be spayed to prevent reproductive disease. Hope it works out well.

If Bugsy is eating and drinking ok, and acting normally, and using his litter box normally, he is probably ok. If he is not eating well, or urinating blood, or drooling, he likely has something going on and needs to see a vet.

Thanks for reaching out about Bob and including photos. This does appear to be an infection, which could be bacterial, fungal or yeast. Did the veterinarian look into the mouth with an instrument (ototoscope) to visual cheek teeth? Moist dermatitis can be green with a bacterial infection called Pseudomonas, which can be difficult to treat. Try to train and switch to a water bottle. Maybe decrease vegetables. A new veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Bella and including photos. Hyper-salivation can be the result of dental disease, ingestion of toxic material and other problems. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. The sooner the visit, the better the prognosis. Try and provide water via a syringe for now. Good luck.

You should always quarantine new bunnies for at least 2 weeks so they aren't in contact with your group. If she doesn't have a snotty nose or sneezing, it may not be infectious. It'd be best to have a vet check her out and potentially put her on eye medication for the runny eyes.

If Daisy is not eating properly then it would be normal for her to poop less. She may also not be drinking enough. You can try to offer some fresh lettuce and veggies. If Daisy still refuses to eat or does not eat properly you will need to take her to a veterinarian familiar with rabbit medicine for a check up of her mouth and teeth. Tooth problems (overgrowth or malocclusions) are common in rabbits as are tooth abscesses. The vet will want to to an x-ray of the head and assess the situation. If tooth correction is requires, it will have to be done under general anesthesia, if done properly.
