Betsy is going into hospital tomorrow as an outpatient.

I observed some behaviours yesterday and today that indicated towards a dental or oral problem. Her teeth didn't look right so took her to the vet today.

One tooth is too long and seems to be catching her tongue. It could possibly be misaligned as well. They'll sort it under anesthetic tomorrow and give her a thorough check up.

Betsy zoned out a bit caused by stress or discomfort so the vet had to stop examining her.

Anesthetics always worry me in a creature that small.
