He did not take xrays, but did do the trimming under anesthetic. He said that it was malocclusion, should i ask him for an xray when i go back on Tuesday? I've had pika for about a year and a half, and the wet chin just showed up probly about a week ago, at first i though maybe she dribbled some water on herself. and then of course i noticed that it was constant and immediately went to google, did my research and called the vet. poor little pika was a rescue chin, i got her from a co-worker whose daughter wasnt caring for her properly. my chins are living the high life, 2 chinchilla mansions which are attached, tons of chews(pumice, woods...etc), on a mazuri diet with total enhancer supplement (from chinworld.com) and chinworld oat blend. they get both timothy hay, and alfalfa which are always stocked. i guess i just dont understand how her teeth would of overgrown with all the chews that she has access to.
one more question, today ive noticed that shes trying to eat but looks to be in a little pain. would she have sensitivity due to the tooth trimming?
thanks,
Morgan, Pika, and maisy
