[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Teeth/drooling problem

[lucky duck]

My cavy Peanut has the same problem.  Ask your vet to check his
molars.  I dont have an experience with molars but since it has
happened once I guess it could happen again.  



Since he is having trouble eating, might I suggest putting his food in
a food processor and chopping it up into bit sized pieces for him?  If
your cavy likes Banana then that is a good treat to give him because it
is soft.  Just a suggestion until you can take him to the vet.  It
might be a problem with his front teeth because he is drooling.  Do you
know how to check there teeth?



Here are some pictures of Peanut compare his teeth with Ravi's:

Peanut has overgrown teeth that need regular trims so his mouth is always slightly open:

He has an overbite so his bottom jaw is pulled back:

His teeth don't grow in properly and since he has an overbite he cannot wear them down properly:

I hope that this helped! please let me know how Ravi goes!
best of luck!
