On Saturday, we had four new piggies arrive at TEAS. Three with dental issues, plus the little friend of one of them.
They've been to see Simon this morning and whilst Earny only needed a quick tidy up of his teeth, Theo and Coco have had to stay in for a GA dental. Theo has some rather severe ulceration, due to teeth rubbing his mouth, that Simon worries will bleed heavily, if he files the teeth, so burring will be safer. Tiny girl, Coco, has no jaw movement whatsoever and Simon even struggled to open her mouth. He is hoping that if he can burr away all the excessive tooth, then the jaw will free up. Both operations will be very challenging, so please keep Theo and Coco in your thoughts.
Just to make everyone aware, this is in no way due to owner neglect, but to the awful lack of veterinary knowledge with regard to guinea pig dental disease. The owners have been trying desperately to get the help needed for their guinea pigs.
It's going to be a very long day, but I am really hoping that this can the beginning of the road to recovery for Theo and Coco!
 
Healing vibes being sent for Theo and Coco. I hope that Simon can help them both. :luv:
 
I'm praying for all of them. I have never had a gpig with dental problems and hope i never do. I think its possibly one of the worst problems aswell as stones.

If theres a chance for these pigs to get back to full health, now is it
 
Keeping everything crossed. If anyone can help, Simon can.
 
Hope the dentals go well xx poor little guys, I know what it's like to have useless vets when it comes to teeth, so glad Simon can hopefully help them now. Pedro, piggies and me all thinking of them and hope all goes brilliantly xx
