Rabbit and Rodent Dentistry

The teeth of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and rats are unlike those of dogs and cats, and are continually growing. If your pet stops eating or appears to be losing weight, it is important to have your pet examined by a veterinarian who will check for evidence of malocclusions, overgrown teeth and entrapment of the tongue. Often a trimming of the affected teeth can quickly restore your pet to a healthier state.
