Answer
I don't really answer questions about rabbits, which I stated in my profile. But if your veterinarian says that a tooth is bad, then it needs to be pulled.

Ask the vet if he has ever put a rabbit under anesthesia before and if he has not, then call around to a vet who has. That way you know that you have one that is experienced with rabbits and the right way to put one out for some dental work.

It's your rabbit and you do have choices!!So ask the vet, and then trust that he will know what he is doing. But don't be afraid to ask first.
