Teeth Trouble

[Piggy-chan]

I'm making a vet appointment asap but I wondered if anyone has ever seen anything like this

I'm sorry but the photo is too blurry for me to see what you mean @Piggy-chan .

If you suspect dental issues ask your vet about their experience with guinea pig teeth as they are quite specialised. The Guinea Lynx website might be able to suggest a vet on their vet locator.

I agree with @Jaycey The picture is too blurry. Would it be possible to get a better one closer up?

Is it a plaque of white stuff in her cheek area? It could be oral thrush. Vet check needed with an experienced vet.
Is she eating ok? If not start syringe feeding and monitor her weight

 

[Piggy-chan]

I don't think so that's after several attempts

Holding her and pushing the button is hard.

She has a vet appointment today. I'll let you all know what it is. Thanks for the concern.

She's about five months old and is eating.

Her lips are ok

Her lips are ok

Looks like some bizarre tooth issues

Turns out she had somehow gotten a zip tie cap stuck on her teeth. It's fine now.

How on earth did that happen? Piggies will eat virtually anything silly creatures!

I had a rescue pig that had a bit of plastic stuck fast on her incisor. The vet had to cut it off! Glad all is well
