Cinnamon has had his top incisors trimmed, but when he bites into an apple you can only see serrations from the bottom teeth. Are the top ones still too long and curved? Should Iask the vet to take off another 1mm or 2?

To add to this, he has the strength to tear pieces off just can’t cut through them.

Does your vet properly know what they are doing? I would be really careful if not.

Yes, she very good. He had his molars done a few days ago and he’s back to chewing no problem, he just doesn’t seem to be able to cut his veg. He tries, has the strength to but I feel the top teeth are maybe too long and curved?

Ok, I have no idea to be honest. Hopefully teas will see I've tagged her and give you an idea what to do.

Are the top incisors sharp? I think when Bill used to have his done by Simon Maddock in Northampton he used to angle them slightly, the top and bottom incisors should wear against each other to keep them ground down and reasonably sharp
