Vet recommendations please
Not sure if I am posting this correctly or in the right spot, so I apologize in advanced. I am looking to see if anyone can reccomend a good vet anywhere from Venice, Fl up through Tampa. I am willing to drive a few hours if needed (just a girl and her squirrel on a road trip...) Specifically I am looking for someone with teeth experience. Long story short my squirrel Donut, is 8 years old, and is having some teeth issues. He has had an upper respiratory infection for some time, my first vet trip I was told the teeth were fine, my second vet trip attempt they put him under to actually get a good look and his upper incisors were at gum level and his lowers were stabbing him, possibly leading to the infection. So he was put on antibiotics, his lowers trimmed and now one of his uppers is growing back, but not the other. The vet is suggesting removing the “bad” upper to get rid of this infection. He admits though that he’s never done a squirrel before, but seems knowledgeable about the anatomy of the tooth root and that it’s not an easy yank. Sooooo..... I’m hunting to see if there are other more expirenced vets to undertake this procedure if necessary. I’ve read on here that Dr Alicia Emerson is a good vet for teeth. Anyone else, possibly on West coast, though again i am willing to drive if needed. Sorry for the long rant, I’m a wreck and just want my sweet boy to be okay. Thank you.
