1. Too long incisors

To be honest, this is very rare, because only molars, apple branches and other teeth grinding products are given every day, Cats will grind their teeth on their own initiative, and they will also chew on the springboard from time to time, which can help prevent the incisors from becoming too long. In the event of unfortunate occurrence of excessive incisor teeth, please seek help from a doctor, because chinchillas have thick and active teeth, hate restraint, and have a lot of strength. Unlike hamsters, they can use nail clippers at home to help themselves. Cut off the long part.

A special thing to remind everyone: Don’t be unfounded, cats and cats gnawing on molars are more likely to cause the incisor teeth to grow too long. Is the length too long? Cats will control the length of their molars by themselves, but they need to pay attention when they affect eating and appear curved.

Second, the back teeth are too long

This is the most common and deadly and most difficult disease in cats. It is fatal because when the back teeth of chinchillas are too long, they cannot eat normally, and as the teeth grow, the constant drooling is not a secondary situation. The most deadly thing is that the domestic production of the back teeth of cats not only hinders normal eating. It leads to physical weakness (at this time, soft food such as grass powder can be fed to help maintain body metabolism), and it will continue to grow and even penetrate the brain. The difficulty is because the cat's back teeth are too long and can only be solved by surgery, but considering the chinchilla's body capacity, the dose of anesthesia is very difficult to control, and the chinchilla may never wake up after the operation, so the surgery is very risky, not to mention Pet hospitals in many areas do not accept chinchillas, and this operation is not something we can do on our own under the guidance of a doctor.

Watching the cat slowly weaken and die due to the long back teeth is undoubtedly a very painful thing. However, although the disease is difficult to treat, prevention is very simple: chinchillas rely on alfalfa straw, and Timothy grass helps to grind their back teeth, so as long as the owners do not spoil their cats and make them like to eat the main food and eat less grass, or Love to eat grass leaves and less grass rods. The deadly disease of the chinchilla's back teeth is very difficult to occur.
