www.degutopia.co.uk/deguill.htm

This is a good site for all common health problems with degus. It includes how these could be solved as well.

Degutopia is still good for medical info (not so much for diet and housing though).

Dental problems are by far the biggest issue, other things would be respiratory issues or infection, sometimes digestive issues, skin disorders, actually injuries from fighting is problem the other major problem after dental issues. You do need to be prepared for fighting.

There aren't really any home remedies, you need to make sure you can find a vet who is experienced with degus locally, and some money put by for emergencies, see vet guide for more info deguworld.proboards.com/thread/15521/vet-guide?page=1
