Oh no
every few weeks would be very hard for us to get to Northampton that often as we live in Southampton! And I don't know how I'd feel about getting dentals done somewhere else where she'd be put under each time. If they could do something about the abscess without removing the tooth and needing dentals I think it might be better for her.
She's fine in herself at the moment. She looks healthy otherwise, she will run around and get excited for salad/veggies, she's eating hay, nuggets and drinking. She's a good steady weight. I haven't noticed her having difficulty eating but I have noticed her top front teeth are ever so slightly uneven now when they were always perfect before. I think she's sleeping a bit more and she will make a little nest in the hay to sleep in, which she never used to do. The other piggies went to guard her when I was showing Chris the lump on her eye which concerned us a little. She was chewing the wicker ball as well.
I don't want to risk her recovering from this or getting sick by waiting if that's too long. It feels like a long time to me but I don't know anything about piggy tooth abscesses and what could happen by waiting.
If she's on metacam and an antibiotic, I guess I'll likely need to be syringe feeding her if the antibiotic means she loses her appetite?
Auxi said she could refer to Anton Vets (I don't want Leia going there from my previous experience with them) or Great Western Exotic in Swindon, which she said communicates well back and forth with her. I wonder if anyone has any experience with going to Great Western for similar?
