TEETH and TOOTH-ANOMALIES
It is important with tooth-problems between anomaly and tooth-apexes to distinguishes, however,
a tooth-problem is the surest through to recognize a X-ray of the skull in lateral position, roughly advanced
damages are at aversion against food, saliva and firm emaciation to recognizes, therefore relatively late.
Tooth-anomalies usually are genetic nature, recessive transmits or however through wrong nutrition, with
of inferior value and/or not right food their content-material is not optimally at the necessities of the chinchillas is adjusted and no or not much enough hay are offered.
With the picture right above is it about tooth-apexes, as also already about tooth-anomaly (the picture
comes from the veterinarian-practice Tierambulatorium Wienerberg, what is no one of my animals!)
A scientific reference also shouldn't missing at this position - it is with short nose dog and cat-races
proved veterinarian-medically that ever more shortly and more approximately the muzzle (with of
course constant tooth-number)) is bred, anomalies of the phylogenetic-formation and consequently
this teeth almost already are challenged - this should not in the chinchilla-breeding unheeded remains!
However, another scientific aspect is also that skull-bones itself a life long can reshape.
The growth-form of the entire bone-device is consummate and remain, however, the skull-bone can
itself through them impact of most different, the chinchilla-life entire normal, circumstances further,
even if sometimes only minimal change. Changes of the skull are through sudden to prove incipient
distortions appearing. There is not a protection or prevention of tooth-anomaly!
Animals situated in the breeding with anomalies, as also as well sudden negative changes of the skull, immediately must be excluded from the breeding!
Tooth-top-formation originates through broken off edge-teeth, no hunger because stress,
anomalies, infringements in the mouth and through it not proportionate wear out of the teeth,
as well as calcium-lack, the teeth yield and cannot rub off itself -
recognizably at white, no orange tooth-material.
Forecast for anomalies of the tooth-growth as well as. Tooth came through the jawbones, badly.
Since begins to suffer the chinchilla, the human being the first indications discovers, the chinchilla
already has heavy miseries behind itself.
Forecast at tooth-apexes, also here suffers when recognizing symptoms the chinchilla already a time,
can however with the sanding tooth-apexes still very many is saved. This should be inspected for
tooth-cut regularly. However, there is not any warranty this they tooth- does not again grows back.
At this position, it is personally important for me to mention that I annual a complete health-check
of my animals induces! Last checks - November 2006
