Re: Trim nails and teeth check
To check the teeth you need to very gently pull back the skin around the mouth so you can see them, if you find that difficult try offering a treat so that your ham has to reach up to take it & you should be able to get a good look at the teeth that way.

Re: Trim nails and teeth check
Ok that seems doable now the only problem is her nails now. They need to be trimmed but she won't sit still and scruffing her won't work either cuz she bites when you do that so I'm not sure how a vet would trim her nail.

Re: Trim nails and teeth check
To do nails you could either get someone else to hold her while you do it or swaddle her, basically wrap her in a towel while you get one paw & trim the nails or you could try putting her in a sieve so the nails come through the holes & do it that way, it's often easiest to just do one or two at a time so they don't get overly stressed.
A good vet should know how to hold a ham while trimming nails.
