Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 3 months old | 6 lbs
hi there, I have a year old rabbit that has something wrong with his jaw which makes he's teeth grow wrong, he needs them trimmed every 5 weeks because he can't keep them down himself, went to the vets today and it was a different person.. he said the rabbit needs his front teeth removed.. but our orginal vet said that if that happened the rabbits jaw would collapse and the rabbit would need put to sleep, what would you recommend?

Your rabbit jaw will not collapse if you get the front teeth removed but the surgery is risky as well as the recovery, overall I would still recommend continuing doing what you do now (teeth bur every 5 weeks), those are just two options, two different approaches, eventually it's for you to choose what you would prefer to do.
