Broken upper tooth

21 14:05:23

Question
One of my guinea pig's top teeth broke at the very top not leaving very much left - actually you can just barely see what is left.  She is fine spirits and is eatting and drinking normally.  Should I be concerned...and also should I be doing anything special until it grows back?  Thanks very much for your help!

Answer
Hi Jackie
the tooth will probably grow back to normal length within 8 - 10 days.
Just make sure she has plenty of carrot and other hard veggies to wear the other teeth down normally and all should be well.
They grow back very fast and usually just like before:)
