I mentioned a few months back that my piggy had a swelling on her bottom jaw which was radiographed. There was an increase in size of one of her tooth roots

so still don't really know what it is.. I was chatting to one of the exotic specialists at uni today and showed them the pictures. they dont think its a tumour or abcess. They suggested maybe doing a CT scan and doing some reconstruction as there maybe a fracture there..
was thinking may get it done before end of uni, as i can get student discount off!
anyone else have any input into this puzzling tooth?

its just really bugging me that I dont have a clue what it is. theres nothing in any book if found.. i have even ventured into the rabbit world but nothing!
 
I was looking at their website the other day (along with many others as the job hunt has started!) and was thinking about emailing and asking. but had a lecture today by a rabbit specialist and was hoping something might pop up similar to piggles toothy problem, but alas it was not to be!
