    Is she a candidate for surgery?

    So sorry to hear that. She is beautiful! Was the presence of the odontoma discovered by x-ray? Has the vet attempted to remove the incisors or is it inoperable? What are her future prospects? We are dealing with a wild squirrel with at the very least a malocclusion issue so any info you can provide would be helpful. (http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/s...with-bad-teeth) Good luck!

    This^^^ Was this confirmed by X-ray?

    She is a beautiful squirrel, thank you for making her life as good as possible!

    I spoke with the rehabilitator near to home you guys recommended, she was very nice and clear: She is not a vet, but she works with a hospital vet. I would take my little squirrel with her, she bring it to the exotic pet specialist, I would pay the treatment, but if the vet find the squirrel is not releasable, she would put my squirrel to sleep. As you see it is not a good deal to Perita.

    We can help you to trim the bottom teeth if they become overgrown. Perhaps, her top teeth will grow in?
