Thread: Snip. Snip. Snip!

Well, that was interesting.

The castration was fine. But during the check-in the vet was concerned over their teeth and gums. He showed me and the gums were very red; An application of some dye and the plaque was clear. So they all went in for a polish and clean while they were already under. Finally, while doing the polish the vet found vestigial teeth in the lower jaw, near the front and removed them in two of the boys, as he had missed them in Leo and he was already in recovery. He's going back in to have them removed in a few weeks at just the charge of the removal, no charge for anaesthetic etc.

I looked online and yep, those teeth don't show up in the diagrams I could find. Anyone got experience of these in MCs ?

Meanwhile, the vet advised to give them some strips of meat, raw or cooked, once a week to get them chewing - and chicken wings are also good, like advised here in the past but then he also wants to get them off soft food completely and look at Science Diet t/d "or other good quality dry food" in the future. That latter I am not sure about given the "quality" of Science Diet/Science Plan. Hmm. Comments ?
