Tooth Decay
-
Monday, February 01, 2016 5:02 PM
So I noticed some darker spots on Bears back teeth. He's about 3 and does have a sweet tooth (had stolen some sweets over the years and hidden them). I suspect he has some tooth decay. I am unsure how to brush the teeth and it's not quite the time for the vet appointment yet. Any suggestions for products or how to allow him to let me brush them? Do they do anything to fix the teeth or do they just wait long enough and then pull them? Is there any dietary changes I could make to help clean the teeth? They're currently on Wellness core original, but I know some animals have tooth hygiene treats or things like that. Thanks

You can make an appt with your vet to have your ferret's teeth clean. I hope this helps

We use a toddler tooth brush and CET poultry flavored enzymatic toothpaste. It was cheaper to get at the vet than on amazon with shipping. BUT, we have lost 2 of my faves to dental issues. Any los of appetite or change in eating habits (Eddie stopped eating kibble) is reason to get those teeth checked

it works very well. I wish I had used it on Eddie before it was too late.
