Glad to report that everything went well with Betsy. She recovered from the anesthetic very quickly and is now home in her own nest.

Two incisors needed trimming but aside from that no other dental issues.
The vet isn't too worried about her thinning belly fur because the skin looks healthy.
Her regular vet suspected a hormonal issue before but nothing that's causing her any problems. Betsy's fur on her hips thins and grows back periodically.

I'm glad that her teeth are sorted but i have no idea why they grew too long. She has chews and wood, attacks her nibble stick with vigor so its just one of those things to keep an eye on.

Betsy is 16 months old and literally getting a bit long in the tooth.
Glad she's back. It's very unsettling when one is missing from the house.
