Amber lost a tooth
My 9 year old, Amber, lost one of her upper fangs today. I found it on
the floor and it looks like it broke off. She eats mostly canned food - only nibbles on dry if she wants me to give her more wet. She seems to be eating normally. I guess this means a trip to the vet next week. She doesn't appear to be bothered by this but I would guess the root should be removed. -MIKE |

At least two of mom's cat have broken fangs. The vet nearly cried over Tycho's, but just because he is such a pretty boy that he thought it was a shame. *snicker* you can hardly tell its broken (rolls eyes. must be wonderful to be handsome Karen |

She seems to
be eating normally. Same thing happened to my cat and I did loose some sleep over it. But she's eating normally and does not appear to be in pain But I brought her to the vet and my guess will be that if you bring your cat to the vet he "may" say that if its not bothering your cat then its better to leave it for now. But you should bring it to the vet because its professional advise and not personal hunches. |
