Well, the vet could not see anything wrong with Puff's teeth. There was a barely perceptible thickening under her jaw on both sides. At this point we agreed I'd weigh her daily and bring her back in if she loses even an ounce or if she decides not to eat something else besides carrots. Fortunately, Puff's gut noises were lovely and her weight, at 2lb, 1oz, is healthy for her size (she's more tubular than any other piggie I've been owned by, long, short of leg, and narrow). I wish I could've seen Dr. Sanchez, but I had to gamble whether to go with this other vet and see her sooner or wait for an opening with my preferred vet, and I felt time was an issue. They do have buccal separators, by the way, but the vets prefer not to use them, as they weren't trained in it in vet school. How hard could it be???
