Attached: 2 images This little gentleman had his vet visit this morning. (the post about why he's at the vet is here - https://aus.social/@aby/111236994019346263) On examination: chest is clear heart sounds great stomach is soft (and ticklish) Looking in his mouth he saw chewed food, but no grass seeds embedded (which can happen), wounds, swelling etc.. but he obviously isn't clearing his food properly. The vet also noted that Socks' teeth slant to one side, which has meant that the teeth on the left are ground down very low and those on the right are much longer than he'd like. The vet's best guess is that he's been tolerating it so far and it's grown to a point where it's now affecting his ability to eat properly and clear his food which is why he's stopped chewing his hay in between feeds. He has an appointment in the morning to be sedated and have his teeths burred down which should deal with the problem (assuming that's what it is, because he seems otherwise healthy). Also, the vet was very taken with him because he's such a charming little guy. Anyone who might want to help with the vet bills, it would be very welcome: https://www.paypal.me/kittensmeow https://ko-fi.com/abydarling #guineapig #guineapigs #GuineaPigsOfMastodon #GuineaPigOfMastodon #CaviesOfMastodon #pet #vet
