My young rabbit is making loud teeth grinding noises. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

While soft teeth grinding (purring) can indicate contentment in rabbits, loud grinding or chattering is often a strong sign of pain or discomfort. This could stem from dental problems (a common issue in rabbits), gastrointestinal stasis, urinary issues, or other underlying illnesses. Rabbits are prey animals and tend to hide pain until it's severe. It's crucial to seek veterinary attention for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause and provide pain relief. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
