My guinea pig fell and lost a tooth she seems fine and can eat grass and hay but is having trouble eating solid food will the tooth ever grow back and will my guinea pig die without it's tooth?

Answer 1

You need to give her crushed food. (put carrots, nuts, cucamber etc in the blender)
or you can put hamster food in water to make it soft.

oh babe dont wory he/her will be fine i dropped my guinea pig timone on the decking once and it grew back almost instantly, just make sure he has plenty of cucumber,danylions grass etc to keep him eating and then once the broken tooth is as long as the other he will start eating normal food again , just make sure he did not swallow the broken off tooth cus sometimes it can get lodged in the throat or stomach so make sure he/her has plenty of water to flush it out of its system .. xxxxx

By toering98, Yes the tooth will grow and probably in less than six months. And no your guinea pig won't die as long as it is eating and drinking something she will be just fine. Take extra good care of it though.

By brittbritt2007, I have a quinea pig too but i never had dropped her i take really good responsibility on her if i were you i would maybe read a book about that or eithertake him/her to the vet . But i would check up on him/her like every 30 minutes to 40 minutes . Sorry i love my quinea pig nothing bad ever happended to her Bye thanks.

Answer 2

Guinea pigs have open-rooted teeth, meaning they continuously grow throughout their life. If a tooth is lost, it typically regrows within a few weeks. Most guinea pigs can still eat without any issue even if they lose a tooth. However, if there are ongoing feeding difficulties, it's best to consult a vet to ensure there are no underlying problems.
