Hi all,
just looking for some advice please (and maybe reassurance)
We got a 18mth old female from a reputable rescue at the weekend, and have become worried that she has teeth problems. But don't know if I'm being paranoid...
She has a tendency to move her mouth around a lot, even when not eating - like she is trying to get her jaws/teeth comfortable - or maybe it's a habit she has? We got her health checked at our vet yesterday - all seems okay but they felt two protruding bumps on her lower jaw - possible molar problem? Our vet said just to make sure we check them to know they don't change/get bigger etc.
She'd been spayed a couple of weeks back and rescue said vet'd checked teeth and all was okay - she has no eye or nasal discharge, is very bright considering she's just moved home and is being bonded with our male. She isn't eating a lot, but she's very little so maybe I'm just used to our big boy always scoffing?
Query is, am I being OTT, should I take her back to my vet for 2nd opinion? Ask for xrays? She wouldn't tolerate the scope going into her mouth whilst awake.
Please advise, what do you think?
thanks so much
