dental problem

Hello, I'm from Thailand and not a native speaker so I'm sorry for my English in advance. One of my guinea pigs is about 2 years old, he has been having tooth abscesses for 4 months now. The vet recommended us to have the tooth extracted because it is likely that said tooth's root is the cause...

I need some serious advice with a dental issue I’m having with one of my pigs, 4 year old Bruce. A few weeks ago I noticed his poops getting softer so booked him in for a check up with the vet, before this came he stopped eating food completely. I took him in to the vets asap and they found...

I noticed that my 5 years old piggy started chewing slowly, sometimes it looked like something were stuck in her teeth that she was trying to get rid off. Today I discovered this on her lower incisor, it looks like three small holes. I’m going to call the vet after the weekend, just wanted to...

hi, my guinea pig Bojack (4 years old) had a dental done on his teeth yesterday, as he had some bad spurs preventing him from eating, also dribbling etc. he seems no better this morning (24 hours passed), he's hardly eating and not himself still yet, he's still dribbling, i'm syringe feeding him...

Hi everyone. So a few weeks ago penelope had broke her top left incisor. Didn’t really cause any issues, had the opposing one filed as it grew a bit long and that was it. It grew back in just fine. A week or 2 later, she breaks off her top right incisor. Same thing. Ended up being fine. I...

Hi! I was at the vets with my guinea pig before Christmas with dental problem and he said the piggy had tooth abscess and gave him antibiotics for 2 weeks. Now after them he started chewing on one side and barely eats any veggies I syringe feed him every day. It is not about lack of want to eat...

Not sure if this is the right area to post this in. I looked and thought this would fit best. I know this is an UK based forum, however I’m sure there are Guinea owners on here that are from the us as well. I’ve been having issues with Penelope’s dental problems. She just had a procedure on...

Hello All, I'm new here, my name is Rosie and I have 5 piggies. I have 4 girls and one boy neutered. I recently took one of the girls ages about 3/4 to the vets as her teeth were wearing at an angle. Today she has been in for dental surgery for the molars. The surgeon has called me afterwards...

Hi, I have a guinea pig that turned three yesterday. One month ago today, we noticed that she had stopped eating. We took her to the emergency vet, have completed front and back tooth trimming under anesthesia, three weeks of antibiotics, and pain medication. We noted that she developed a mass...

He was doing so much better. He wasn't eating but he wanted to. He no longer wants to. He won't close his mouth with syringe feeds, he's losing weight. It feels like it happened overnight. He stopped pooping all of a sudden. We took him to 3 hospitals. When I last saw him, about 2 days ago...

Hi all! I have a 5.5 year old pig who has recently had an issue with her teeth - they got a little long and one of her top incisors is growing at an angle which will either hit her bottom ones or slot behind them. She went off her food for a couple of days and that's when we noticed. She has...

Hi everyone, Last night, I noticed two of my guinea pigs chewing in a very exaggerated form. Lips pulled back and their ears moving back as they’re chewing sometimes. At first, I thought it was something stuck in their mouths. Today, they’re still doing it. One more than the other. One of them...

Hi, One of my girls has been having some issues with her jaw for a while now. She developed an abscess just before Christmas in her right cheek. We treated with antibiotics, draining and flushing it. That cleared up well and she was fine again. She never really stopped eating, just slowed down...

Hi all! I'm in the unfortunate situation of having a two year old boar, Puff, with dental issues. Two weeks ago he underwent X-rays and a trimming. The vet did not notice anything in the back, just slanted incisors, which she filed. He's been eating grass, critical care and greens in his...

my guinea pig bandit has something wrong with his teeth. i first noticed it today. he has cuts on his mouth and his two top teeth are misaligned and loose with the gums between them also looking like there’s something wrong. does anyone know what this could be or what caused it? he also cant eat...

Hi there, first time poster, hope I do this correctly! My six year old guinea pig Pumpkin stopped eating completely two days ago aside from grain. She'd gradually been going off her food. I took her to the vet as soon as I realised how severe the problem had become and it turned out her bottom...

Hello, my name is Ewa and my guinea pig is Apollo! He’s a 6 year old white crested boy. Yes he’s an old guy. So Apollo has malocclusion and has had his back teeth done 3 times over the past 2 and a half months. He is also developing problems with his front teeth growing unequally and the top...

My boar Bear has been chewing bars relentlessly as Womble (sow who lives next-door) is in heat. I tried to block off the pen bars with a blanket and bulldog clips but he would just bite the clips and burrow under the blanket. Today he was bar biting again but there was a sudden noise of...

My four year old male, Henri, has lost a significant amount of weight while I was overseas. He is still eating grass, vegies and pellets, but finds hay difficult. He has one elongated incisor and the vet said that he has some dental issues but he needs to be anaesthetised to fully examine the...
