teeth

My boy Steve is suffering with his molars at the moment (at least we believe as current vets are unable to examine back teeth conscious without proper equipment). He is 7 and still bright, in good body condition for his age and seems to be comfortable otherwise. Since Sunday I’ve had to...

Hi all, I noticed a few days ago that Prawn’s teeth were wonky - conindicentally we were at the vets on Thursday and she gave him a look over, noticed his wonky teeth and tried to look at his back teeth. Unfortunately he had an entire mouth full of food so she couldn’t see anything - were...

Hello, just wanted to write on here to see if anyone else has dealt with the similar. I have 3 little sisters, only 15 weeks old. Petal has been squinting her eyes (quite badly at some points) when eating. We went to the vets on Wednesday and the vet checked inside her mouth, eyes and listened...

Title. I pulled her out of the cage for some floor time. I didn't have a good enough grip on her and she got excited and jumped out of my hands before I could put her down. It wasn't that far of a fall and she seemed fine. So, I didn't think to check her mouth. When I fed her a crunchy treat, I...

I’m so so so sorry for yet another post and this being so long 😭 I just didn’t want to keep spamming the post I made yesterday because it’s possibly not relevant anymore. You all are a lot more experienced than me and knowing what to say to my vet is invaluable. So long story short yesterday my...

Hey everyone I just adopted a new baby from my local animal shelter. I brought him home and let him get settled and once he was a little more relaxed I did a little check in to see if he was in good health or if I missed anything at the shelter. I noticed a slight smell around his mouth so I...

Hi everyone, My name is Jess I'm from Brisbane, Queensland Australia and have such an unusual case I felt sharing the story here may be worthwhile incase someone has answers. I've hunted google many times and keep landing on posts here with answers. Will try do a brief summary keep it super...

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, My Guinea pig had a peice of hay stuck between his teeth, and it turns out that one small piece of hay had created a space between his bottom teeth, and the teeth was in an acute V shape. I just checked again just now, and his bottom teeth went back to straight, but with a small tiny hay...

Hi guys, I have a 1.5 year old male skinny pig and he has never had any issues. Within the last few days he has completely stopped eating his hay, at first we thought we might have spoiled him with too many goodies and that he would go back to eating his hay but he hasn't. He acts interested in...

Hi, today I noticed something about this guys teeth. From the front, it looks like he has something stuck between his teeth, but it's the color from the back of his teeth. I think something got stuck in there, and because it was too small, I didn't notice it during checkups. What should I do...

I was wondering how long it usually takes an abscess to grow. I noticed a grape sized lump at around 9pm today and by 11pm it was golf ball sized. He's still got a big appetite for his liquid food. It's definitely related to molars because he chipped a front tooth awhile ago. vet said his molars...

Hi everyone, Thanks for take your time. I’ve got my two boars from June then they have been living together until last month. Because I found they began to fight with each other and one of the boars always get injured, I separated them to two CC cage but they still can see each other and...

Hello, I’d really appreciate getting some advice for my guinea pig’s teeth. My guinea pig is 11 months old right now. Today, while I had him in my lap, I found something wrong with his front incisors. His bottom incisors are nice and aligned, but his top incisors had a problem. One of the...

Hi, unfortunately what I feared has happened. My little girl has a dental problem. She's 3 years an 8 months old We took her to the vet today and she checked her teeth. She didn't find any problems but she couldn't see the last molars, the ones that are further down but the symptoms are...

Penelope recently broke off half of her top right incisor. It’s since grown back but I’ve been very worried about her teeth. Probably worrying for no reason but I just kind of want another persons opinion on if her teeth look good! They may not be the best as it’s a bit difficult to get good...

I’ve noticed Penelope is having issues biting into her oxbow vit c treats. She eats her hay just fine, drinks water fine and is even gaining weight! I looked at her teeth tonight and noticed the top right looks to be broken off. The bottom one looks to be kind of chipped as well. She has had...

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...

Hey, I feel like all I talk about is Kronk and his tunnel and I’m sorry about that but I’ve been worrying about something and didn’t want to sound silly but I think I just have to ask. Will the boys hurt their teeth chewing on the hay tunnel? The sound that it makes when they’re chewing on it...

I have a 4 year old male named Sully who recently had gut stasis. We took him to the vet and after a week of antibiotics and a LOT of critical care his gut is totally fine. He poops and pees regularly and gets very excited about food. However in the interrim of not eating correctly his molars...
