The rabbit may be currently anorexic (perhaps with gut stasis) and reluctant to drink from a dropper bottle, or the owner may report a history of periods of anorexia as a succession of lesions heal, only to reform once mastication resumes. This is reflected in a gradual net loss of body condition.<br><br>

Buccal lesions may become infected and give rise to facial abscesses. Continued retrograde tooth elongation eventually results in perforation of the periosteum and extension of periodontal infection to form periapical abscesses. Those arising from maxillary cheek teeth may be associated with exophthalmus (molars), intrusion into the nasal passages, causing rhinitis and respiratory noise (PM1), or swelling below the medial canthus (PM2, PM3).
