I'm afraid this you'll have to consult a vet liao. Did Dr Chan ask you to bring her back for a check up? Also, do you give her enough hay? Usually if they have enough hay there is less chances of their teeth needing to be trimmed as they chew a lot. Hard vegetables like carrots are another option. Some ppl give chew sticks but not all cavies chew them.

My guinea pig is born disformed so actually his mother guinea pig wanted to bite him to death, but clover managed to save him. His teeth is grow in the wrong way, so no matter how much hay he ate also no use. still have to go to vet monthly

hand feed him indeed very difficult, but no choice, he been losing weight, and critical care is the only food that can boost his energy. lucky he like it a lot. born with brain and teeth problem is not his fault, he my precious pig.

Sad to hear the news... Think you had given him the best care you could afford already. |
