Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Teeth Grinding????
Hi My barney who is 8 years and has insulinoma does
this everytime he eats his chicken soup, no matter the
consistency. He also tilts his head from side to
side. I can hear him grind his teeth. It sounds like
fingernails on a blackboard. I would like to know why
he does this, Is he in any pain? Thank You, Kathie
and fuzzies.
