Peter has gone 6 weeks and 1 day since his last dental. When I took him for his VHD jab yesterday the vet checked his mouth and said he has a spur starting to grow towards his tongue again. However, yesterday he wasn't bothered by this and was eating and behaving normally. He also had no sores or ulcers in his mouth.
TODAY has been a different story. This morning he ate his food slower than usual and this evening he didn't dive into his bowl of food or push the girls out of the way to get to the veg. He slowly nibbled a carrot after I had closed the cage up.
I will ring my vet group in the morning (my vet belongs to a group of three and one of them - not mine, is open tomorrow) to book a dental for Monday morning. I know that it is a dental that he needs and my vet has said that as soon as I think he needs a dental, ring up and book it.
I am worried that he will be in pain so was wondering whether I should give him some painkiller? I have the stuff left over from his last dental and know that it is based on his weight. Should I give it to him or wait to speak to the vet and give him some in the morning if the vet agrees??
Thanks
