🦷✨ February is Dental Health Month… and yes, that includes our tiniest patients too!
Meet Pumpkin - this sweet little guinea pig recently visited us for an occlusal adjustment, a dental procedure that helps correct uneven tooth wear.
Guinea pigs have continuously growing teeth, which means if they don’t wear down properly, sharp points and overgrowth can develop. This can lead to pain, difficulty eating, weight loss, and other health concerns.
Regular exams and early intervention make all the difference!
Pumpkin was a brave little patient and handled her procedure like a champ 💛
Dental health isn’t just for cats and dogs - small pets need it too! If you notice changes in appetite, drooling, messy eating, or weight loss in your guinea pig, it’s always worth a check-up.
Because every smile - even the teeny, squeaky ones - deserves to feel its best.
