13 Apr 2021. VETERINARY STORIES FOR VET STUDENTS AND PET OWNERS by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow). HOW DOES TOA PAYOH VETS TREAT OVERGROWN FRONT TEETH IN DWARF HAMSTERS?
ABOUT THIS CASE
The dwarf hamster’s front teeth grow continuously to old age. They are worn down when it gnaws on seeds. The young lady surfed the internet to locate a vet who does hamster dentistry as her vet will not treat hamster.
Gas anaesthesia is needed to trim the overgrown tooth safely for the hamster. A rodent’s tooth cutter and forceps are used.
Advices include change to more seeds and no grilles in the cage to prevent gnawing causing overgrown teeth.
Extra anaesthetic care is important as the hamster can die from anaesthesia or heat loss during or post surgery.
