Allie and I just got home from the emergency vet.
I'd left her with my parents since I had to work late tonight, and evidently she got into a fight with their frenchie while I was still at work. Her entire white face was tinged with blood, but I could only see a few small scratches around her eye, so I made her get into the bathtub so I clean her up. After she got out of the bath I noticed blood under her chin, looked in her mouth, and she had a huge hole where 3 teeth and the tissue surrounding had all broken off in one piece! It looked like her upper jaw was broken and dislocated. I immediately called my vet and he sent me to the emergency clinic about 30 minutes away.
They had to sedate her to examine/stitch her up. Luckily the hole wasn't all the way up into the sinus cavity, but she did loose a tooth. Hopefully it was done quickly enough so that she won't loose the rest of the teeth. The vet knocked her out, then woke her back up and sent her home.
Allie is laying in the bed snoring at the moment, but I feel absolutely horrible and like I let this happen. She doesn't get along with my Mom's frenchie, but since I had to work so late I didn't want to leave her alone all day.
