Hello, I have just got back from a consultation with my vet. My 2 1/2 year old teddy guinea pig has been diagnosed with malocclusion
He went to the vets in January and had he’s back teeth trimmed however the vet did not inform me of this condition or warn me that it would return and need trimming again. Theodore’s appetite has decreased recently and I booked him in for a trim again to be called back by the vet who informed me that his teeth are severely bad and that we can only monitor the pain now until he needs to be euthanatised. When I went to pick him up I was shown a picture of how bad they are, they have now trapped his tongue! Should the vet of still trimmed them down? I am very confused and feel like the vets aren’t offering me any support or information, and have just given me painkillers.
I want to get a second opinion, as I am very upset that my healthy piggie has been given up on. I have always fed him a healthy diet and unlimited hay. However I don’t want to see him in pain. Any help or advice would be appreciated
