• Difficulty eating. Overgrown teeth can make it difficult for guinea pigs to pick up and chew their food, leading to weight loss and malnutrition.
• Oral pain. The overgrown teeth can cause pain in the mouth, making it difficult for guinea pigs to eat and drink.
• Cheek pouches. The overgrown teeth can also cause the guinea pig's cheek pouches to become infected and swollen.
• Abscesses. The overgrown teeth can also cause abscesses to form in the guinea pig's mouth or jaw.
• Death. In severe cases, overgrown teeth can even cause death.
It is important to have your guinea pig's teeth trimmed regularly by a veterinarian to prevent these health problems from occurring.
