Brought forward our vet appointment to today..no problem only I "refused" the post-op check...sigh, a rather dramatic disclaimer from the surgery but never mind...
The area was examined, a bit of Casper fur removed and all good. Next appointment in 2 weeks time
Here are the Xrays, you can clearly see the fracture to the lower canine, and the long root underneath, plus the adult canine capsule sitting underneath.
First Xray a side view of Otter's jaw...
This is the view from below. The vet is pointing at the fracture. The white rounded areas are the new teeth buds encapsulated in the jaw.
Finally, you can compare the fractured baby canine to the intact baby tooth on the other side. See those HUGE adult teeth which should be erupting in a month or so? The last teeth to erupt are the canines.
) so @Emily_Babbelhund maybe you're not a scary person after all.
The area will still be sore, the remains of the tooth disintegrated as the vet tried to take it out, so more bone was cut away to remove the tooth safely and not disturb the capsule underneath. 4 months is difficult as ALL she wants to do is chew and carry things around, poor thing.
