Dental spur causing an abscess
-
This rabbit had an abscess on his right cheek that was caused by a spike on the lower 4th cheek tooth penetrating the oral mucosa. Amazingly, the rabbit was eating but on the left side only. The slanted wear on the incisors indicates this. The rabbit responded well to having the tooth trimmed and all the pus removed from the abscess plus a course of injectable penicillin and streptomycin.

Dental spur
-
This prepared mandible from a rabbit with dental disease shows a sharp spur on the third right mandibular tooth. The spur has developed because the tooth is curved rather than elongated. There is also curvature of the second cheek tooth.
