PSA: Teeth
Heya folks - reminder to check your pals teeth regularly.
This is after us realising late on Sunday that Phil's top teeth were curving right under and he wasn't able to chew / nibble. We didn't notice as he was still accepting food and stayed at a consistent weight - but we managed to get a look in his mouth and got him to the vet today after lots of soft food and fuss. Vet turned him over and clipped them right off.
Best way to get a look is holding in one hand and getting them to gnaw a qtip/cotton bud.
We feel awful as we consider ourselves good owners.
