teeth problems

I have a guinea pig aged 4+ his name is Taco. Although timid this past couple of months I had noticed some off behaviours such as not finishing his favourite vegetables etc. so I began to monitor him closely. This past week I noticed a pretty significant weight loss, soft stools and an...

Hello, My piggie Muffin is almost 5years old, I took her to the Vet as she was struggling to eat. The vet diagnosed overgrown mollars but didnt have the expertise to deal with dental work. I've looked up a few places and have seen Simon and Kim recommended at the Cat and rabbit clinic. I will...

I noticed that my 5 years old piggy started chewing slowly, sometimes it looked like something were stuck in her teeth that she was trying to get rid off. Today I discovered this on her lower incisor, it looks like three small holes. I’m going to call the vet after the weekend, just wanted to...

Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me please! My poor piggy Harry has been poorly now for around a month and I am at a loss as to what to do for him. He's a 6 year old fella. 4 weeks ago he had a snotty nose, some shortness of breath and a little drop in weight (from around 1.15kg to...

Nancy has been at the vets today. During a procedure (she was under anathestic for an x-ray) she has lost one of her top incisor teeth so she has 1 still left up top. Do She is finding eating hard. She has managed a little bit of lettuce, she won't eat corinador (which is out of character) and...

Hi all! I have a 5.5 year old pig who has recently had an issue with her teeth - they got a little long and one of her top incisors is growing at an angle which will either hit her bottom ones or slot behind them. She went off her food for a couple of days and that's when we noticed. She has...

My guinea pig, Storm, fell out of his cage the other day. We're talking a one meter fall - I have since made sure the cage bars are tall enough for this to not happen again. I can't afford taking him to a vet now during the weekend but will be taking him Monday. He doesn't seem to have any...

Hey, everyone, So, Basti started to eat less and less a few weeks ago, started losing weight and we went to investigate only to find out she was having dental problems. X-Ray detected some anomaly in her jaw and teeth, she went to surgery and the doctor said that "things were pretty messy in...

Hi, unfortunately what I feared has happened. My little girl has a dental problem. She's 3 years an 8 months old We took her to the vet today and she checked her teeth. She didn't find any problems but she couldn't see the last molars, the ones that are further down but the symptoms are...

Hi everyone, i live in Italy and i ask for your help for my guinea pig. In May she had a problem of bloating but we were able to fix that. After that the vet told us to give her less veggies and more hay. At first she had a lot of soft stools mixed with constipation but we slowly fixed that...

My GP is currently not eating or drinking on her own. She will eat her lettuce and some veggies but not hay, pellets or vit C tablets. I am syringe feeding her critical care and water. Background: Took her in about a month ago for possible luce but vet did not see any nor saw any mites with a...

My male guinea pig teeth are uneven, he is a year and a half old ish and I'm not sure what to do? Is this bad, he still eats at his normal pace and normal amount and is not showing any discomfort or anything

One of my guinea pigs recently had back to back ear infections, and due to those has developed some dental issues. His front teeth were trimmed but his back teeth still need to be taken care of. He is currently too underweight to under go that process. He is on critical care feed per vet...

I recently noticed one of my boars had crooked top incisors, so I took him to a vet (that supposedly works with small animals) to have his teeth trimmed. Unfortunately, I was not able to go with to this vet appointment, so my mom had to take him. They told us he suffered from malocclusion (what...

On Thursday, May 7, I opened a fresh new bag of hay (I use Oxbow's Timothy Hay/Orchard Grass Blend). Neither of my guinea pigs seemed that interested and preferred instead to eat what was left of their old bag; hay that was arguably less fresh and getting stale. But even then, they did not eat...

Hi, my 5 1/2 year old intact boar is having some weird tooth problems. Vet says that the molars look okay and the brown at the base of his bottom incisor is fur. Ozzy confirmed this himself as he has cleaned off his teeth and has lovely pink gums. The real problem is that his bottom left...

A bit of an odd one - yesterday we got a 3mth old gp from a rescue. Today I noticed she drank out of the side of her mouth. It turns out she has extremely long top teeth which are curling back into her mouth but there was no sign of any bottom teeth. I'm assuming she has never had any because if...

My guinea pig Mickey is sick for a week. He is a 4 years 10 months old American breed boy. He was not eating (anorexia) for two days. Then we visited vet. She checked his heart beat and lungs, they are functioning OK. But he has gum redness/soreness and felt pain on putting some pressure on...

Hello! I have a very fiesty 4 year old boar, he won't stop biting the divider in his cage. He recently chipped a tooth pretty bad on the wire, and I'm scared that with him biting with little tooth, that he will damage his gums? Anybody have any idea how I can stop him from biting?

I was taking My piggie Optimus to the vet and gave the two boys some carrot before we left but I found Witwicky couldn't eat it and it would just fall from his mouth.Later after the vet looked at Optimus's foot she examined Witwicky teeth and found they had completely gone and there was a...
