Hazel arrived at TEAS mid November, aged 3 months and weighing only 128g. She weighed less than the week old babies I had here. Her teeth were dreadful! At first she needed weekly dentals, then we managed to stretch the time between treatments to 10 days, and then a fortnight. The result is amazing! I really would urge anyone with a piggy with dental problems to take them straight to Simon and not try other vets and rodentologists first. I feel that myself and Simon are often used when all else fails, and although in most cases we can get the piggy eating again for themselves, the dental disease is usually so advanced by this stage that it can only be managed and not cured. Dealing with dental issues is never easy and I spend every day of my life syringe feeding one or another of the piggies here, and spend hours teaching them to eat for themselves again. I cut leafy veg into tiny pieces with scissors and hand feed it a piece at a time so they can regain their confidence in eating again. This is all done in addition to my full time work, and at times I feel total exhaustion. However, the exhaustion disappears instantly when you get a result like we have had with Hazel.
