I have a 5 yr old doe who has been loosing weight. Lost her full sister earlier this year to weight loss, no cause found. Thought it was a feed issue, didnt notice any adnormalities. Today I found an abscess under her bottom jaw. Brought her in opened and cleaned it. Found what feels like a tooth under the flesh in the hollow of her lower jaw. Front teeth are aligned.
She is now making a grinding noise. Can a molar get that misaligned?
Find a vet? Cull? Really dont want to cull her.

grinding is pain, not necessarily a tooth issue. Molars can develop spurs but then you'll see slobberiness when drinking. She might need something for pain. She could be having tooth issues as well.

I gave her a dose of asprin. All I had on hand. Might call around and get quotes from the vets in the area.
