Stress and Relief
Apparantly Bailey's teeth weren't nearly as bad as I thought they were - I must just be used to well-gnawed teeth in my rats :D
He fought like a pint-sized tiger with the vet, in the end it took three of us to hold him still! I was amazed; for such an old, underweight, wirey little man he's so strong! He managed to sink his teeth into the vet as a sort of parting shot before they were chopped off, lol.
He's very tired and stressed now, poor mite, but at least he should be able to eat. I'll keep giving him Ferretvite, babyfood and mashed banana for a few days until he gets used to eating on the new teeth, but he should perk up now.
