I noticed that Lily was a little wet around the nostrils so had a closer look. Her top incisors looked at different angles so I touched them and they were both wobbly! She was very good and let me have a good look at them. The bottom ones are fine but the top ones are loose in the gums and pulled forward. She has been eating her pellets fine but the brocolli was untouched. It was in big pieces though so hard to eat with her teeth as they are. I'm not surprised as I'm sure its painful. I will get her to the vets asap although my good vets is only in on Tuesdays. I don't trust my local vets with anything smaller than a cat as they just don't have the experience. I have metacam so could give a little for the pain in the mean time. However, she was ok at letting me touch them but I would have thought they must be painful. She may have done this anytime over the last few days as I've been working 7am til 7pm so haven't seen her in anything other than the light of the torch for the last few days. She has continued eating and showed no other signs. I feel awful for not noticing if it happened earlier.
I don't know how she did it. There aren't any places she could jump from in her pen but the floor in concrete and the walls are brick. She also has glaucoma so I wonder if she was jumping around and banged into the wall?
Or perhaps she has an abscess? The gum looked healthy so nothing obvious. I couldn't get a look at her molars as I didn't want to risk pushed her incisors.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. I've read of buns jumping and knocking their incisors but I'd feel better if I knew how she did it. In case there is an underlying problem.
