Trimmed my rats teeth and now she wont eat solid foods.. WORRIED!!?
-
a couple days ago i realized that my rats teeth have grown way too long it was impossible for her to eat, i was mortified! i raised this rat ever since her eyes and ears were closed my husband and i clipped her teeth down to where so can now stick her tongue out and i thought she would be able to eat again but now she doesnt want to drink her water or eat solids foods, she will eat yogurt and baby food and bananas but she wont bite down on the many things we got her to get her teeth right.. what do i do?? i can take her to the vet tomorrow but im so worried about her.

Answer:
I imagine that you have cut down the teeth to the nerve endings! Continue to feed her baby food and bananas (I'm not sure about yogurt!) and just take her to the vet tomorrow. In the future, seek the assistance of a vet before you trim your rat's teeth!

maybe it hurts to eat on the newly shortened teeth and the softer foods may feel better than the hard. Just let her "mouth" rest for a bit and then try giving her hard food or just let the hard food sit out until she eats it again
What did you use to cut it? B/c I read many books and they say that if you use any other tools other from the vet, it can be painful and you should've gone to the vet to get it trimmed b/c even tho u are careful, you need to numb their gums or the whole animal while trimming and you need to use a specific tool b/c back in the days, they used to use nail clippers or something else and not numb the animals and their teeth can be clipped badly, chipped, or you may have done something even more serious. Go to the vet if your rat doesn't eat for more than 3 days! While they're not eating, feed her what she eats (the bananas, baby food, yogurt even tho they are VERY bad for your rat, but it's better than not having them starve. I prefer not the baby food and yogurt b/c it's always a bad idea to feed an animal human food. ) Hope your rat gets better SOON! <3 Best wishes, Em
her teeth probably hurt! yeah you should just go to the vet tomorrow, and just make sure she gets drinks water until then
