Rabbit still not eating normally after tooth grinding?

Yesterday, my rabbit had her teeth ground down at the vet because her teeth were too long. Over the weekend, I had to feed her Critical Care five times a day because she couldn't eat anymore. My vet said I should continue feeding her Critical Care for two days after the "surgery" and mix in some pain medication. Despite the teeth grinding, my rabbit still isn't eating normally—he's only eating a few bites at a time. Is it normal for her to not eat as much? Will her appetite return after a few days? I'm very worried 🙁

Was it put in anesthesia? If so, it can be good that the rabbit needs a little bit. Depending on how long the teeth were, they could have rubbed the cheek. Of course it hurts.

If it doesn’t get better tomorrow, I’d call the vet again. Sometimes rabbits also have jaw tooth tips. They’re not good to see, but hurt the rabbit while eating.
