The SD HRS often has megacolon buns that they place in permanent foster care (“sanctuary” foster), so the society will cover all the medical expenses etc. It seems like they usually they do pretty well with a motility med twice a day and some diet modifications.

I don’t think people necessarily knew the buns had the problems when they dropped them off, but it’s hard to say. Some people just think their bun just doesn’t like hay, and don’t realize it’s because their teeth are hurting.

And of course most buns of those breeds are fine! Loads of lionheads, lops, and dwarf buns on this forum with no problems at all! My understanding is dental problems show up early (like within the first year) when they are congenital. Buns can also get spurs later in life (like around 6+ ish) due to changes in bone density as they age.
