My 5 1/2 yr. old sable female lost a top fang this summer after she broke out of her cage and decided to chomp my geriatric male. After reading about someone else's ferret with a similar problem needing their bottom fang filed down because it was rubbing up top I thought I'd take another look at Smokey. ( I do this regularily anyway) Well what to my wondering eyes should appear, but her other top fang was partially broken off and was bent over and being held in by a piece of her gum and her bottom fangs. I eventually was able to remove the tooth, with the aid of a chopstick and some Linatone with no complications. I whipped up some duck soup for her. I'm keeping an eye on the wound site, but in the meantime.... Are there any major problems I need to be aware of with a ferret with no upper canines? I will be watching her closely, but was wondering if any of you had any words of wisdom? Thanks in advance, Lara and Smokey (now the Pug) [Posted in FML issue 2516]
