Hello All- I'm borrowing a friend's computer to post this since my life doesn't include Internet access. Lots of pets-but no Internet. According to her I speak in all big medical terms that need to be translated so bear with me. I have a general question to any persons [or fuzzies] about experiences you have had when dental work was done on your fuzzy. I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician so I know a bit about dental disease and treatment but not about ferrets specifically. I work at a feline specialty practice so the work can't be done there. One of my new adoptions [3 1/2 year old sprite], has a fractured canine. We don't know how long the tooth has been broken. The pulp is exposed, the tooth is discolored, and her gum is slightly swollen. I recently sat through 5 hours of lecture on dental disease and to me this s a serious problem. My question is this: Has anyone had dental radiographs done on their ferret? A root canal? Experience with an upper canine extraction? Costs involved? I'm still in the process of locating a local vet with experience in ferret dentistry [our regular vet hasn't done any]. Otherwise I'll travel to see a veterinary dentist-but he's 2 1/2 hours away. I'll do what's best for her [within reason-she's not getting a titanium crown for her tooth-here comes Dracula]. Oh, she's bouncy, eating well, and doesn't seem to be painful but I'm concerned this may abscess in the future and I want to avoid that. Dooks to all. June Dodger - the broken fang ferret Trevor - my tooth isn't broken so I don't have to go. Beast - my teeth are all beautiful cause I'm the youngest [Posted in FML issue 2587]
