Subject: Question about tooth care (with pic link)
Hello all,
I would like to know if this amount of tooth gunk is normal for a 2 yo sprite.

(The unhappy subject is Cracker, my second rescued ferret.)
I had asked this once before but the photos I had were pretty crummy... The
new pic is 10x better. Folks who saw the first pics told me that they
normal. I hope that under better lighting the answer remains the same. :) I
am hopeful that all is well because the gumline looks healthy to my
layman's eye.
Dr. Williams, you had asked if you could use those first pics I took and I
promised you better ones -- sorry for the delay, but here is one. Use it
however you like, I release it for the greater good of all ferretkind. (I
will leave it at this location if you want to link to it, or you can copy
it.) If you would like me to try for another photo just ask.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
