dental

Hi I have a girl who wasn’t eating. So I took her to a vet (good exotic vet) who said her incisors were at an angle which suggested something was going on further back. She then had an X-ray and some dental filling on her back teeth and a spur under GA. This was Monday. As of today, she’s...

Hi again, Just wondered if anyone had any experience with long and complex jaw abscesses that have come back after the initial marsupialization. First post : Not eating after dental surgery After 4 unsuccessful weeks of post surgery treatment with Zithromax, next option is to start the combo...

Hi all, my 3yr old boar Pbody stopped eating solids 4 weeks ago, we started syringe feeding as soon as we noticed he wasn't eating his dinner as normal, after a few visits to our local vet we were reffered to the exotics centre at RVC Camden and they performed a dental to file down his back...

Hi all, Hoping you can help me. Took our 9 month old female to the vet yesterday because she was making a noise when peeing and thought she might have a UTI. She gave her a full examination and X-ray - confirmed there are no bladder stones and gave us a diuretic which will hopefully clear it...

My guinea Juno (4yo) has recently been dealing on and off with a UTI for the past several months, but she suddenly started eating less and being less mobile, only eating a small amount of hay and veggies. She already had a checkup for her UTI but I felt her condition has been going on too long...

hi all! recently sylvester has been through a rough patch as he has an overgrown molar. he’s going to get it trimmed this coming friday, and so i will have to syringefeed him a lot in that one week before surgery. however, it seems to me that he REALLY wants to eat FOOD! not critical care but...

Hello, my name is Ewa and my guinea pig is Apollo! He’s a 6 year old white crested boy. Yes he’s an old guy. So Apollo has malocclusion and has had his back teeth done 3 times over the past 2 and a half months. He is also developing problems with his front teeth growing unequally and the top...

Hi, everyone. Last October, my 2-year-old Oreo started drooling. I knew it would be a dental problem. After some drama with a bunch of vets, I finally found one who didn't refuse him. She was great, did the procedure right away and he went home that evening. It took him a full month to recover...

So Steve is going to have his teeth trimmed tomorrow. I know for sure his two bottom incisors need doing...his back molars I’m not too sure they feel okay to me but he isn’t the easiest to check as he tries to take your fingers off😂😂 Now, I am taking him to my practice as they do bunny and piggy...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has used Northlands vets in Northampton for dental work and a rough estimate for costs? My Guinea pig has been referred to a vet in Bristol but the estimate for work is extortionate. thanks

Hi 👋🏻 My pig had dental surgery two weeks ago tomorrow but since then he hasn’t been eating or drinking. He still seems to be interested in food but just sniffs it. He hasn’t gone to his bottle at all since. I’ve been feeding him critical care in the meantime but it’s exhausting and very hard...

Hi! So just looking for may advice about dental issues as I’m just so tired and worried for my little guy. he is about 1.5 years old and is quite big (length not weight). In March he developed an abscess on the side of his chin, and after multiple vets draining it and giving him antibiotics and...

Hello, i have noticed that whenever one of my guinea pigs has grass (either in the cage or outdoors), there is always a large amount of staining under the chin, and even a little on the legs. The other doesn't stain at all. I felt this area prior to putting them briefly on the grass today and it...

So long story short, my guinea pig has had three dental ops in the past two months. The first op was a disaster, the vet left all his molars at different heights and full of burrs. He obviously couldn’t eat anything other than critical care. The next vet evened his molars and smoothed the...

Hello, I have a four year old female guinea pig named Keeva who has seen a vet multiple times but due to covid they aren't answering their phones or messages for follow up questions. She was brought to the vet after eating less and having trouble eating. She's been receiving critical care ever...

About 3-4 weeks ago, I moved my guinea pigs into a new, larger cage. Since moving them in there, they have shown absolutely no interest in the cardboard and toilet paper rolls I leave around for them to chew on - they would go crazy for them in their old cage! Based on this, I was wondering what...

A friend of mine was asking about his pig, Gus, who doesn't like to eat hard food and treats. He was wondering if his front teeth seemed too long. I don't think the bottom are too long, but the top ones seem pretty short, and the gum seems to be poking through in the middle which can't be...

[Help!] Here is an update on the situation, which seams really scary... My previous post is linked as below. I wrote about the updated situation under that post 12 hours ago, but few people viewed it and no one replied, probably because it is an 'old post', so I feel maybe it's better to create...

Hi, Since last October, my piggy had one incisor that looks white and kept breaking down. I took her to the vet at that time but the vet said it was fine. But since mid-December, the incisor didn't grow at all, and after Christmas it had an abscess on the jaw. The vet got the abscess drained on...

Hi all, I hope I posting this in the right place. My 2.5 year old Guinea pig Pablo stopped eating about 3 weeks ago. He had surgery to correct both his front and back teeth. About a week after the surgery he was gaining weight and was more interested in food again. However he suddenly went...
