Hi. I have problems with Domino again. Her teeth are in a bit of a state and shes having trouble eating as in it takes her forever and her sisters steal the food. I addition to the teeth she now has a foot issue. She is barely putting any weight on it and is holding it up when she can. I went to the vets yesterday. They said her teeth were okay as in they'll just have to sort themselves and gave her painkillers for the leg. It could be injury, infection or arthritis. Shes only 3 and seems to have developed all these issues. I'm so scared of losing her. Shes 650g, which isnt the greatest, but as long as she keeps trying to eat I hope she'll be okay. Its just one thing after another at the moment.

I’m sorry to hear this
If she isn’t able to eat hay properly and is losing weight then her teeth won’t sort themselves. Dental problems will get worse if any potential overgrowth of mouth issue isn’t dealt with.
It is important you step in with syringe feeding her a recovery feed to keep her weight up and replace the fibre she isn’t able to eat for herself

Holding you in my thoughts
Oh no poor Domino. Sending healing vibes. Hopefully the pain meds will help with her foot but if there are teeth problems they will need sorting out unfortunately. Good luck.
Sorry, about the teeth issues, I meant the vet said to let them grow out because they broke. She can bite and eat, it just takes her a little longer. Obviously if they start growing weird I'll take her back. The vet did see her yesterday though and said they looked alright
