I apologise for not posting here for ages, been so busy!
Took Pipkin to the vets today for his Myxi and he was being very well behaved and let the vet check his teeth! His front teeth are fine however the vet said he is starting to form spurs on his back teeth He says no ulcerated sections yet however it needs keeping an eye on.
Pipkin is a nethie x (I think) so has a bit of a flat face which I know contributes to teeth problems.
Just wondering if anyone has tips to help wear these spurs down? I don't want to GA him unless totally necessary .
He currently eats bucketfuls of Oxbow orchard grass, small amout of Excel pellets in the morning and leafy greens (spring greens) and herbs in the evening. Would a different hay mixed in with his orchard grass wear his teeth down better as I know the orchard grass is quite a soft hay?
Thank you in advance, I'm already panicking!
