Hi
I am not long back from the vets with Snuggles my 4 year old Chinchilla Giganta. I thought I was taking him for a standard teeth burr- if thats the right word for it!
Well when the vet was looking in his mouth he asked was I aware that he only had 5 teeth! This is a new vet in our area so he hadnt seen Snuggles before.
He had his teeth burred under sedation just before Christmas and that vet never said anything. The tooth that needed attention then has now disappeared! The vet I saw today thought I had asked for the tooth to be taken out.
Now my problem is why is this happening? The vet doesnt seem to concerned at the moment but wants to keep an eye on his weight. He says he is very young to have hardly any teeth though!
Anybody any suggestions on how I keep Snuggles comfortable and happy to eat- so far he is eating and drinking as normal. I am just thinking what if.
Does anyone think I should contact the vet from before Christmas and ask if he noticed anything and ask what he did?
Sorry to go, just I am little concerned
Thanks
Clare
