Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
This is the only place i can see that might help me here (not much of a introduction sorry)
i have two very healthy pig (both male brothers) they have been great, eating just fine, pooping fine, drinking fine but come janurary my speedy was showing signs of problems with his jaw (would add we check his front teeth on weekly basis) vet checked every 6 months and all is fine but this time we took him to 3 vets (black vets dudley that checked him but sent me to manor vets in birmingham which i could only get to the halesowen one at the time, they sent me to the birmingham one the next day) we had my pigs molar/far left & right done, came out of it (thank god) but we went for the after check 3 weeks later and the vet told us the far left one was slight growth in it again and would need this doing every 3 weeks but went to pets at home vets for a second check when i was coming back home, they said there was nothing wrong with and teeth but had to re-shape his front teeth as they was not trimmed right,
Now come today we went to get both checked at pets at home but due to this virus we had to go to west brom one so we got black vets to check them as they had a opening and it was a vet who knows her pigs stuff, found out my elvis is fine but my speedy far left molar is slight over again and needs doing, i've been quoted 150-200 from pets at home and 250-300 by black vets, i've rang around as i've read on here and other pig sites if its not bad that they don't need to be put under anaesthetic but non seem to take this and want to put him under anaesthetic, i'm ok with the bill but i really don't want to keep having a 50/50 on my lil pig coming through as its hard enough needing to explain to my kids its a 50/50 chance of pulling through.
Would anyone be able to help on this matter and to try and keep his molar under control as he eats his hard food just find including his hay/strew and loves ripping apart his house (the carrot top ones from pets at home)
