I can't remember if I posted this before or not but I had to take Apple to the vet as two of her bottom teeth had grown up past her lip. I am ashamed to say I didn't notice it for a while as it blends with the white of her face and she was still eating and was lively. The vet showed me how to cut them and said they will need doing regularly.
They have now grown again. Not as long as before but still outside her mouth. I worry about doing it myself but I also worry about the stress for poor Apple of taking her to the vet every few weeks (which is how long it seems to be). The vet cut them just like nails, using a plastic guide to protect her skin. Apple will never be able to ground them down because of how they are positioned in her mouth. Her other teeth are great according to the vet and she is a brilliant hay eater.
She is one of the babies of the trio I fostered from Starlights and ended up adopting so she is only young - probably just under a year. I wonder if it would be best to have the teeth removed while she is still young?
I am really unsure as to what to do for the best for her.
