You are probably correct about it being related to his dental problems. It’s also possibly a clogged tear duct which could be due to his dental problems as well or that can sometimes be because of infection.

Probably just want to watch to make sure he’s not uncomfortable or if there is a change in his eating habits – it can sometimes be hard to tell exactly when the teeth are causing them problems because all rabbits behave differently.

Hopefully you will be able to get him soon to a vet to look at his teeth.

Good luck on the job.

I assume you are talking about incisors- the front teeth?  Care of those are quite different from the back teeth- molars.  If his teeth are overgrowing- maloccluded it can prevent him from eating properly.  The simplest treatment is to have the teeth trimmed.  This is typically a quick easy procedure that a rabbit exerienced vet can do- and can even show you how to do (although I am not sure you want to be the bad guy).  It does not hurt- and it does not require sedation- just the proper tool and knowledge of how-to.  The front teeth are easily accessable and that is why it is so different than dealing with molars.

In severe cases the incisors and peg teeth can be extracted- but I would make sure a rabbit saavy vet recommended the procedure before I would consider it.

One of my bunnies has slightly crooked lower teeth- but they are not a problem because they are still worn properly as the are pushed together as opposed to growing off the the back, side or front.

If the front teeth are overgrowing- pet insurance will most likely not cover any portion of treatment or surgery as it is considered a genetic condition.  I am not sure what type of rabbit Binny is- but Netherland dwarfs are extremely prone to incisor malocclusion.  The policies details can vary from state to state depending on state laws- but I still find it unlikely that VPI will cover what is considered to be a genetic condition and if you wait to get insurance and bring him in for his first visit and he presents with that problem- it will also be pre-existing condition.  VPI does cover dental issues- as many of our members here have had success with dental claims and treatment.

It could also not be the teeth and could be the eye itself or the tear duct.

Likely it is teeth causing this but read up on some eye care all the same. Some eye baths or wiping it may clear a blockage – worth a try. From what I understand, if there’s a problem with the incisors, it indicates there’s likely to be issues with the molars as these may not occlude correctly. Molar spurs or root impinging on tear ducts most likely. Difficulties you might see if it’s dental related are abcess growth, infection into eye, pain while eating. So it pays not to leave things too long. Maybe enquire about cost of tooth trim as this may be a simple starting point that’d cost less now.
