Overgrown teeth is one of the most common conditions we treat in pet guinea pigs. Since their teeth are continuously growing, if they wear down improperly, they can start to entrap the tongue like you see here. Owners will typically notice their guinea pig experiencing weight loss, despite showing interest in food. This Guinea pig was placed under anesthesia and the teeth were filed down with a diamond burr. Once this sort of problem arises, they often have to have dental trims periodically for the rest of their lives. 🦷 #guineapig #guineapigs #cavy #dentist #dentistry #dental #tooth #teeth #zoo #exotics #wildlife #animals #pets #nature #vet #vetmed #veterinarian #veterinary #medicine #veterinarymedicine #veterinaria #medical #doctor #premed #prevet #vettech #scrublife
