Guinea pig lost tooth

[Winniethepiggy]

Hi,
So right now i just noticed that my guinea pig has lost a tooth and half a tooth on her top 2 teeth. She seems to be in no pain and is chewing ok but how do i help her be comfortable in eating as I'm sure she will struggle eating her veg? Also will these teeth definitely grow back?

Don’t worry, the tooth should grow back within a few weeks. Is it the top on bottom incisor that she’s lost? In the meantime, you may need to chop her veg in to matchsticks or grate it to make it easier for her and weigh her daily to make sure she’s eating enough hay. If you notice she’s losing weight, you may wish to see a vet and will have to step in and syringe feed her but hopefully it’s just a straight forward break and she’ll manage just fine x

Its her top teeth. Shes eating perfectly ok, I'm watching her eat now. Shes a little slower but she seems ok! Ill keep an eye on her weight x

it’s difficult to gauge if they’re eating the all important hay which is making up 80% of the food intake which is why weighing daily is so important. Good luck x
