DENTAL TREATMENTS

Your Veterinarian in Vienna – Dr. Sabine Frank

Dr. Sabine Frank, your veterinarian in Vienna, specializes in veterinary dentistry. Most pet owners visit the practice in Vienna when their animal suffers from very unpleasant bad breath, eats poorly, or drools excessively.

The cause is often severe tartar buildup, gingivitis, or even teeth already affected by pus, which naturally causes pain for the animal. In addition, plaque bacteria can spread throughout the body and lead to diseases of the heart valves or the kidneys.

Depending on the individual needs, your experienced veterinarian in Vienna performs tartar removal using ultrasound, polishing with zirconium paste, as well as comprehensive dental and gum treatments. These procedures are carried out painlessly for your pet under anesthesia.

Unfortunately, rabbits and guinea pigs are increasingly prone to malocclusions (misaligned teeth), partly due to genetic factors and partly as a result of improper nutrition. These dental problems can cause the animals to eat poorly or stop eating altogether.

If the incisors grow too long, this is easy for the owner to recognize by gently lifting the animal’s lips up or down. The molars, however, can only be examined by the veterinarian using an otoscope.

If small rodents stop eating for three to four days and the owner does not notice, this can lead to a serious metabolic imbalance and even the animal’s death. For this reason, it is essential to observe the animals while they eat and ensure that they are able to bite and swallow properly, and that their droppings are normal in size and shape.

If any abnormalities occur, it is absolutely necessary to consult a veterinarian immediately. If you have any questions, veterinarian Dr. Sabine Frank in Vienna will be happy to assist you personally.
