Is she teeth grinding?

Becki xX

Cant work out whether jen is grinding her teeth in pain :? I know the nice tooth grinding when theyre having cuddles or whatever, but never heard this noise before...its like a sort of vibration from her mouth & can feel it when you touch her head? Quite fast? Odd noise. Hard to explain, Any ideas? Thanks :) Xx
 
Is there any thing else up with her?

Casp was tooth grinding earlier and it was so intense the stethoscope picked it up whilst I listened to his heart and tummy.

It also vibrated through his head :?
 
Caramel does this sometimes and I think it is a happy thing. How is Jen in herself? xxx

Mmm I can tell the happy grinding though, this is different :? Shes alright in herself as far as I can tell. Still got her snuffly nose but it doesnt bother her, breathing is fine. She has built quite a hideaway in the hutch which is out of character - but it could also be 'cos she was cold? Wondering if her eyes are going to start causing problems again though :? Will call Zoey again tmw but dont want her to be hurting until then if she is in pain?!
 
I was worried about Trip grinding but he was checked over by the vet and is fine, just sounds different when happy grinding to the other three :D x

Aww :) ...but would she not sound different all the time? She happy grinds every time i stroke her face, but this is totally different? xX
 
Sometimes Piper will grind different/louder than usual, but she only does it when I'm giving her nose rubs or petting her or whatever. And then she always stops making the noise when I stop petting/rubbing her. She doesn't seem like she's in pain whatsoever so I just assume its a happy grinding...
 
is she netuered? Could be buzzing....Sooty only buzzed at dinner time but could be when she's content too.

Yeah shes been speyed about a year I think, its not buzzing either - argh wish you could all just here it, No good at explaining! :roll:
 
They can sometimes do it as a contentment thing when they huddle up like a 'duck' (<-- I call it!) ... when Charlie was in pain his whole body was shaking like he was trembling wherever I touched him (usually he 'purrs' when I tickle certain places.

Is Jen eating and pooing ok?
