Breaking Toofies

[Glynis]

Hi everyone, one of Dee's friends has a piggie who keeps on breaking her toofies :'( :'(
She said that the bottom teeth have like plaque on them and they wobble and hurt to touch :o :o :'( :'( :'(
and the poor little girl keeps knocking out the top teeth too.......... :'( :'(

What do you suggest to help?
Do you think she needs to give the piggie some vitamins? or what?
We'd appreciate some help from you all, so i can pass it on O0 O0

What sort of a diet is the piggy on? Recurring broken teeth are a symptom of vitamin C deficiency.

I have a terrible time with one of my piggies who came to me with scurvy. She's never been quite right despite plenty veggies and supplements if she's ill. Think there's a page on GL about it too Glynis.

Could be a lack of Calcium and Vit D in the diet too.

Thanks guys....mmmmmm you're right about the scurvy thing.... she was told that it might be a possibility :-\ :-\

OK the piggie gets lots of veggies, chaff and a mix we get here (not oxbow), also she was advised to give the piggie some vitamin powder in the water to help in case it was scurvy :-\ :-\

Is there anything else she could do to help the piggie?
