We have had Oliver for just over 3 years and we were told he was 5 when we adopted him.
For the past couple of years he has had frequent problems with his teeth not wearing down and had several deburring sessions at the vets.
He went through a stage of this happening every month but this calmed down alittle.
He had his last dental about 3 weeks ago and still has not started to eat properly. He is on metacam daily and we are syringe feeding him. The vet said yesterday that his teeth as not been ground down in the normal manner (the right and left side usually are missor images of each other but in this case both sides angle the teeth in the same direction) and that this would imply a problem with is jaw. He was unsure what treatment to recommend although he did administer an extra strong pain killer to see if that made any different (which it did not).
Has anyone got any ideas and what I could try / suggest to the vet? I did wonder if the issue could have been caused by the last vet to debur his teeth.
I have left Oliver with some water soaked SS to see if that entices him (he has never had SS before).
I am so worried I will try anything.
