If you notice that your chinchilla is constantly wet under the chin and begins to smell a
bit sour it may have a problem with its teeth. You will need to see a vet. You can check
your chinchilla's teeth by looking at the 4 front ones to be sure that they meet in a straight
line in the front and are not broken or split. On rare occasions a chinchilla can crack or
split a tooth and it will need to be clipped. If the teeth are meeting at an angle
your chinchilla may have problems with its back teeth. Tooth problems are best handled
by an experienced vet.
