Kevin has an appointment tonight to see how well he's doing and to get his teeth filed again.

I can definitely hear some grating so his teeth are obviously in need of some attention, however he's really trying hard to eat all sorts of things. This morning he's really been making a good attempt at eating some hay, so hpefully once his teeth are re-done he should make even more progress.

Everything about him is much more 'normal' guinea pig like now. He has found his voice and wheeks so loudly that his ears wag up and down as he does it! :))

I try not to look too far ahead when dealing with dental piggies but I am feeling very positive about his progress so far.
 
Yes he gets the hay into his mouth and then chews like crazy but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Hopefully once he's had his teeth filed it will do.

He is so cheeky and dashes around the cage lots now. I will do some more vids really soon.
 
It sounds really encouraging! I hope that uncle Simon can file down the teeth enough that Kev can actually eat it. Go on, Kev!
 
He can eat the dry food and can nibble at grass too but the hay is a bit too course for him at the moment I think. His teeth are sharp though as I find out when I give him the wrong syringe food. He has preferences at different times and if I get it wrong I get a sharp nip! He really is a right little character.
 
It made me smile when you said his ears wag up and down when he wheeeks - it sounds like what a baby elephant does. :))

Seriously though, he's doing remarkably well - I'll look forward to hearing what Simon had to say.
 
Simon was very pleased to see how well Kevin is doing. He had his teeth filed again and he also had a Panomec injection as he's a bit itchy. He still has some ulceration in his mouth, but everything is looking improved on last time. Everyone at the vets commented on how much bigger he looks already. All in all a very positive visit!
 
Oh little sweetheart. My bunny had to have his teeth removed and I have to grate carrot for him too.

Kev has now taken a big liking for Science Selective piggie food that is slightly softened, but as the pieces are a bit large for him I am spending my time breaking each piece into four! He's really got me wound around his little finger (or should that be his little toe?) bless him! x)
 
It's time for Kevin's next appointment He's doing so well and has turned into a lively and very cheeky little piggie. He still needs a lot of syringe food but he is eating more and more for himself and is so determined. He isn't managing quite as well as he was a couple of days ago so it's clear he needs some work doing on his teeth, but he is still making a great effort at eating. Last night he managed to find the largest piece of corriander (the bit I had missed when cutting it up small) and with lots of head shaking and manouvering it around he got it into his mouth and ate it.

We see uncle Simon tonight at 7.10 so will be updating later on how we get on.
