Vet did more xrays to get a better view of her back molars etc. she said there is some mild overgrowth of molar roots and some molar points and she needs some crown reduction of cheek teeth. They also said there is evidence of Gastrointestinal Stasis which she says is from not eating her usual diet etc. she said she can dispense some metoclopramide... is this medication safe?? Is crown reduction and smoothing molar points a difficult procedure for guinea pig? Vet says the procedure would take 30-60 minutes and she would need to be on anesthesia for that time.
It is precisely the procedure I've been detailing for you. Believe me your precious girl is going to be fine. Metoclopramide has been prescribed for pigs countless times and is perfectly safe for them.
Book your girl in for the procedure as soon as possible. The sooner it's done, the quicker she can begin her recovery.
