malocclusion

Hi! My 5.5 year old boy, Snickers, stopped eating hay a couple of weeks ago. I started immediately on the critical care and took him to an awesome vet who examined his teeth and did an X-ray. She didn't notice anything obviously wrong. He was bloated at the time (from not eating enough. I think...

Hi guys! My guinea Guts is in the hospital with GI stasis and we thought bloat. He only had some mild gas, and they've been amazing in treating him and communicating this time around. (Even if I get a little crazy.) I was really on them about his teeth, since it's very obvious he wants to eat...

Hello! I'm posting this in desperation. My 1 year-old guinea pig Gregory hasn't eaten properly in 2 months. We have gone to the vet basically every week for 2 months and he's had 2 surgeries to fix his teeth. His back teeth keep growing too long, to the point that he has mouth ulcers before...

Hi everyone, I really need your advice for my piggy Charlie, who is a one year old boy. Tl;dr : Charlie stopped eating and was diagnosed with a dental spur which was apparently entrapping his tongue. His spur was removed and he has had his molars trimmed but he still hasn't started eating on...

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! 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, I have a 3 and a half year old sow who has had problems with maloccluded teeth over the past year. She has been having regular dentals and takes some ongoing pain relief for root elongation. Things were going well until about 3 weeks ago when she suddenly stopped eating. She had a...

My guineapig is 6 years old, around last March I noticed he wasn’t eating and took him to the vet. The vet told me his teeth have been growing at such a fast pace and will need to get them trimmed about every 2-3 months which I was fine with. (It’s about $200 every time). Last month I took him...

My dear Simon had a CT today. An abscess in his jaw was discovered and drained. I wasn't allowed to bring him home. Per the vet, the tooth didn't move and surgery is necessary; there was talk of drilling from underneath to the tooth to get it to move then remove. Has anyone had a tooth removed...

Hi there. My poor pig, Khaleesi, just got her front incisors and back molars trimmed by a vet, who I was told is experienced with this procedure, on Thursday (four days ago). Her molars were overgrown and were causing tongue entrapment and the vet who did the procedure on her told me that they...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and don't really know how to keep things clear enough for you to understand, but I'll try to briefly describe the situation: So, I have two lovely boys, Drew and Barrone (both are about 2,5 years old), who get ill quite often, unfortunately. They've both been...

Hi everyone, I'm so sad to have to post this but I don't know what else to do for my girl Nym. She is four years old and has always been a small pig, 750-800 grams well weight but she dropped quickly to 650g and was coughing when she ate and started slobbering. Straight to the vets and diagnosed...
