Hubby has just called me into the kitchen to ask if Tinkerbell's front teeth are overgrown.

I've looked and the bottom ones are really long How could I not have noticed?? She is eating normally and still munching hay but I feel dreadful. What a rubbish owner I am

Got her booked into vets at 4.45pm but I feel like one of those dreadful owners that neglects her pet

We can't always catch everything, as much as we try, and sometimes too much attention is bad, because you're seeing the teeth too much to notice the small changes.

Hopefully the bun will be ok

If you were a bad owner, you wouldn't have noticed them and/or if you did you wouldn't have done anything about it.

Let us know how she gets on at the vets :wave:

Thanks everyone

She has actually broken one of her bottom teeth, probably by bashing into something. She does hurtle around the house and garden so it doesn't surprise me.

The vet also checked her back teeth, the ones she had trouble with back in June, and she needs one of those seen to as well.

She is booked in for a GA on Monday morning to have them seen to. She obviously hasn't been able to clean herself properly either and is very sore down below so he is also going to clean that up properly when she is under.

You'll feel better once she's home safe and sound with you.

She's a bit wobbly but her teeth have been filed and her infected "bits" cleaned up.

The nurse suggested that the infection in her "bits" could be from urine and how she is bedded :shock: I told her she freeranges in the house, uses a litter tray that is changed everyday and sleeps on a pink princess bed
