I just took my chinchilla to the vet because I suspected malocclusion. The vet found out that 1 tooth is growing sideways into her tongue. I read a lot of sites that recommended euthanizing the chinchilla if malo is diagnosed.
The vet sounded hopeful that we could file down that tooth and keep a close eye on things. She said we'd have to file it down regularly depending on how fast it grows (2month - 8months in between visits).
I really didn't want to give up on Nibby. Is filing her teeth regularly a good option? Or was I being taken for my money by the vet?
