Not Eating Broken tooth

[CavyMama]

The vet office I go to has two in-house exotics specialists. The vet I saw for Trio is one of the two. She's the one who saw him initially and she's the one who did the surgery.

I hope you're right that the GL people will have experiences that indicate that his molars will be able to meet again. This vet seemed to feel that the cause of the malocclusion was something other than the overgrown molars, like maybe a fracture in his jaw.

Being blind in one eye, he does sometimes turn his head to the sighted side and in the process, bump his head, although it never seems to be that hard of a bump. He did collide with his cagemate a few times but again, they both seemed okay after. Her overall feeling was that this would be a chronic problem and his molars would never be able to meet again.

Incidentally, and thankfully he hasn't loss his appetite and actually, seems more interested in solid food now and he hasn't had diarrhea. Actually, he hasn't had much at all in the way of poop. A few days ago, he was pooping soft but solid poop. Now, Im finding clumps of soft but solid poop. It was almost like what I would see with my impacted male a few years back.

Ill definitely search GL for what you mentioned. Any potentially good news is welcome.

Sadly, Trio lost his battle this morning. Last week, I thought he had turned a corner, was trying to eat solid food, was drinking again from the water bottle, was taking his antibiotics like a champ, was tolerating the Critical Care.

But this weekend he took a turn for the worse. Even last night, he was taking the antibiotic just fine, he was eating the babyfood (still wasnt able to eat much solid food), he was drinking from the water bottle, etc.

So he's over the rainbow bridge now. Playing with Shammy, Ollie and Gus and all the other piggies who have passed on. He's not suffering anymore.

Rest in peace little friend. You're free now.

I'm so sorry about Trio. Maybe it's a blessing, although I know how hard it is to lose one of these sweet babies. He was extremely lucky to have found a home with someone like you who did everything possible to make his life better. RIP little one....

Rest in peace little friend. You will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace now. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry for you loss. He's at peace and out of pain now and can eat all the hay and veggies he wants... RIP, little piggie!

Sorry for your loss

This is the song I've been listening to today. I know we can't link to outside videos but the music is so touching. I recommend looking for it on YouTube.

"Goodbye My Friend" by Linda Ronstadt

Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend

I've seen a lot things that make me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
We could've run away and left well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away these tears
I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend

Life's so fragile and love's so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we never know why

But I'm okay now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend
