OVERGROWN TEETH OF A RABBIT

Vocalizations - guinea pig

Guinea pigs make a variety of noises, some of which most guinea pig owners will recognize. Contented guinea pigs just going about their day often make a variety of squeaks, chortles, and quiet grunts. • Wheeking: This is a distinctive and common vocalization, and is used to communicate excitement, particularly about being fed or simply a call for attention. It sounds like a long, loud squeal or whistle. • Purring noises: These have different meanings depending on the pitch of the sound. Guinea pigs that are feeling contented and comfortable will make a deep sounding purr. A short purr may indicate fear or uncertainty • Rumbling: This is a deeper rumble than the purr. This noise is made by a male romancing a female, and sometimes also by females in season. While courting, a male usually purrs deeply, swaying and circling the female in a behavior called "rumble strutting". This is also called as motor boating. • Teeth chattering: This is a sign of an agitated or angry guinea pig and is an aggressive vocalization. It is often accompanied by showing the teeth and means "back off" or "stay away." • Hissing: like teeth chattering • Cooing: It communicates reassurance and is a sound most often made by mother guinea pigs to their young. • Shrieking: A piercing, high pitched squeak that can be mistaken as a call of fear, or pain. If you hear this type of sound, it is good to check on your guinea pigs to make sure everything is okay. • Whining: a whining or moaning type of squeak can communicate annoyance or dislike for something you or another guinea pig is doing. • Chirping: Sounds just like a bird chirping; this is perhaps the least well-understood noise guinea pigs make.

Finally, rinse, rinse, rinse to get all of the shampoo out or it will dry, itch, and cause the dog to produce excess skin oil.

How to brush your dog's teeth

There are important facts about pets' mouth that tell us when, where and how to brush. It takes less than 36 hours for this plaque to become mineralized and harden into "tartar" that cannot be removed with a brush. To avoid this progression, brushing should be done daily, with a brush to remove the plaque from under the gum line.
Pick a time of day that will become a convenient part of your pet's daily routine. Take a few days to let both of you get use to the process. Follow with praise and a walk or treat each time.
How to brush your Dog's Teeth -
Start by offering your dog a taste of the dog's toothpaste. The next time, let him taste the toothpaste, then run your finger along the gums of the upper teeth. Repeat the process with the tooth brush. Get the bristles of the brush along the gum line of the upper back teeth and angle slightly up, so the bristles get under the gum line. Work from back to front, making small circles along the gum lines. Do not try to brush the entire mouth at first. If your pet eventually allows you to brush most of his teeth, so much the better.
Even with the best tooth brushing, some dogs may still need an occasional professional cleaning. By brushing your pet's teeth daily, you may reduce the frequency and involvement of dental cleanings.

CARE OF YOUR CAT'S TEETH

There are two main methods to help your cats’ teeth and gums to stay healthy. Firstly, cats must have a regular dental cleaning, every six months. Most important thing is home care which lead to less frequent veterinary cleanings.
Veterinary dental care includes annual examining of the cats’ teeth and gums. Cat may have bad breath, reddened gums, yellowish-brown tartar on teeth, which indicate gingivitis. When severe, cats may refuse eating. Pay attention to signs like excessive salivation, bleeding from the mouth and reluctance to chew food.

You should train your cat to accept daily brushing or wiping of the teeth. The easiest way to do that is by starting the training while the cat is very small. With the help of a special toothbrush, apply the bristles to the teeth at a 45-degree angle to the gums, reaching both the tooth surface and the area just beneath the gum margin. The toothpaste meant for human is not good for cats, as it can be harmful if swallowed. There are special types of toothpaste for cat, as they are flavored appropriately and are harmless if swallowed. These toothpastes contain enzymes and do not require rinsing.

Try making it pleasant to your cat, and will start enjoying teeth brushing. It is the only way of having a healthy cat without teeth problem.
