to: DAPHNE GROSZ <> Subject: Teeth, teeth, and more teeth Yellowing with age is common. the dark stuff on the molar is tartar and does need to be scaled off. See your vet or ask a dentist/hygenist friend to show you how to remove it so you can do it yourseld in another year or two. I have found that if you keep up with the teeth, every 6-9 months, it is a whole lot easier to remove than every year or two. But if you can't/won't do it yourself, then see the vet at LEAST everyother year. Remember, tartar is a buildup of nasty things,a nd your ferret is swallowing the nasty stuff every time he eats. clean teeth are important to good health. BTW for those following my story - Red Dog is now out of his recovery cage and reunited with his buddies again. His fur is already starting to come back. He eats well, poops well, and toddles around with less waddle dragging! Pam and her Pet Pals [Posted in FML issue 1172]
