I was looking at Cinnamon today, clipping his nails. When he started sneezing. A lot. And then his eyes got all watery, there was a little crust around them. I looked at his teeth, and low and behold, they were TERRIBLE. His two top teeth are perfect, right next to each other, nice and aligned. His bottom teeth are one in front of the other. I noticed before that there was some plastic around them, and it is still there. I think that it was trying to hold the teeth in place, and it did for a little while.
Can a tooth problem cause eye problems? I know that eye problems can cause nose problems... I hope he is not sick, because then all of the other piggies have been exposed to him.
He is not eating well, and I have to give him thin slivers of veggies. For example, if I wanted to give him a carrot, I would have to peel it, and feed it to him like he was a ticket-eating machine at the arcade.
I almost don't know if it is worth it to bring him to the vet. He is almost 8 now, and I have already spent thousands on vet bills, for him alone.
What could be wrong with him? How much would the vet bills be? What would they have to do to him? What can I do right now to make him as comfortable as possible?
(I think that it is important to note that the symptoms didn't come all at once. I just started to notice them gradually.)
