Loose tooth

[Flyingsquirrelee]

Hey, I have a female flying squirrel that is about 1.5 year old and she a loose bottom tooth. The local vet now does exotic animals. Should I take her?

[stepnstone]

Squirrels are able to move their bottom teeth individually of each other,
are you positive it's loose or could this be what you are seeing?

I'm positive, she won't eat hardly at all. And when she is in her tent she "sneezes", I don't know if that has to do with her tooth but she's not acting normal.

Most likely it does...
Exotic does not necessary mean squirrel.
Find out first and make sure it's safe to take her.
And yes, I would definitely get her seen as soon
as possible.

She also has orange teeth, are they rotting?

No, orange or yellow is normal. It's a mineral deposit which makes the front of the tooth more durable than the back so that it ends up being shaped like a chisel.

Oh okay, thank you!! I will call the vet tomorrow to get her tooth checked out.
