Hello all,
Sancho was playing outside in the backyard.... I was out there, reading the Kindle and watching him. He was putting around in the grass and shrubs as usual. No yelping or anything weird. Then he came over to me kind of hyper and wanting to play. He put his head on my knee and I saw blood all over the side of his mouth and my pants!
I immediately saw that the left long tooth on his bottom jaw was broken and barely hanging on in the gum My poor baby... I feel so awful. I was there, watching and didn't see that he had somehow found a bungee cord with plastic hooks in the mud and must have tried to pull it and broke his tooth.
I'm so worried. Can/will it get infected? What should we feed him? Should we give him some baby Tylenol?? Will he be okay? Is there a chance it was a baby tooth and will come back and I'm just being an overly panicky first-time dog mom?
I'm literally crying over here... I feel so awful that I missed that and now he has to not have his tooth
