Subject: [ferrethealth] Carnassial extraction?
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

My ferret has a problem with his lower right carnassial - it appears
wonky and points out toward his cheek. This means it builds up tartar.
It has been cleaned by the vet under anaesthetic previously, but the
gum did not heal fully and is still red and receeded, indicating
periodontal disease.
The ferret is off to the vet on Monday and I think the ferret might
need that tooth extracted as it obviously won't stay clean and healthy.

Has anyone had a ferret with a carnassial extracted?
Is it a difficult tooth to pull, since it is such a major tooth?
How did the ferret cope with eating after the extraction?

Thanks, I just want to know what to expect as I'm a little nervous
about this.

Kate
