Help me! My GERBIL?

Question

My Gerbil lost her 2 front teeth, completely, they can not grow back! She won't eat or drink water. She is 4 years old, this maybe her last year alive. What can I do to help her eat and drink. Its my fault she lost her teeth and I don't know what to do. I feel so bad. Please help me!

Answer 1

4 years is pretty long for a gerbil. The teeth grew out probably because of old age. It won't probably because it hurts to open and close it's mouth without it's teeth in it. You might want to take it too the vet and talk to the vet about what your options are.

They could be:

a) having to feed it liquid food stuff threw a squinter.

b) wait to see if it gets better and eats and drinks agian.

c) pet it goodbye. It's lived a long, good life

Hope i helped. I wish it could live longer :(

Only a vet can help you with this problem. If I were you id find a syringe but a blunt point not a needle and feed it some mushed up gerbil food mixed with water.
