bp mouth stuck together by teeth

if he can't open his mouth, how is that not a problem?

Hi,

I'd also be concerned about that number of wounds in his mouth area from an infection standpoint to be honest.

definitely! have you put any ointment or anything on the cuts?

no i fixed it though. i got a q tip and slowly got each one of the teeth unstuck. i asked a vet and he said its nothing to worry about. "its just like when you get your teeth stuck on your braces."he said

is this a herp vet?

yes Avian + exotic.

it just seems strange to me that he wasn't concerned at all. open wounds in the mouth are pretty prone to infections if not cleaned properly.

it has already healed. there is no more blood. i cant even see it any more.

Just keep an eye on it. I would be worried, too. B/C:
1. Why did this happen and is it a symptom of some other problem?
2. Could it get infected?
3. Can it recur?

When was the last time your BP ate? Did all go OK?
