Hi
Three weeks ago, we noticed that out three year old female guinea pig (Jupiter) was unable to eat. She was trying to eat, but was unable to bite. We went to a vet, but he did not gave a substantial cure. We changed the vet. Went to vet number 2. Even he didn't had the required expertise and did not check the molars. He did trim the incisors which seemed fine to us.
Three days later, with no improvement, we looked for another vet in another city. We went to vet number 3. She seemed to be a bit knowledgeable. She, through her fingers, examined and said that the premolars are elongated. We got the surgery done. But even after this, Jupiter was not able to eat. She would try and tear the food, but looked like she didn't grab it properly.
After waiting for 8 days, we could see his incisors were back to the same length, but the lower incisors were clashing with the upper ones, instead of going below them. we went again to the same vet. This time we got an xray done. The doctor again took her for the surgery. When she came back she said that she has identified that the incisor on the lower jaw had a crack which in the gums previously, but as the teeth grew, it has surfaced over, and this might be the original cause of Jupiter not eating at the first place. While returning, jupiter tried eating a bean aggressively and broke that teeth. Now she is not even trying to eat. It has been 36 hours.
@furryfriends (TEAS) and whoever has the knowledge, can you please help. My country really doesn't have very good doctors when it comes to handling exotic pets and we are very worried. Could the incisor be mistakenly broken by any of the vet (2 or 3)? Are the roots fine ( attaching the xray for reference) please help urgently.
