Subject: Pawing at mouth
I took my boy Faoli in for his booster shot 2 weeks ago, and he reacted! He
hadnt reacted to his first three ( he is a year old and was getting his
first booster) so we gave him liquid benydril and he stopped yackin' and
squirtin' ... while we were there the vet noticed that Faoli had chipped his
tooth...I hadn't noticed I guess cause I never look at his teeth...She
assured us that it wouldnt bother Faoli and so we just kinda been keeping an
eye on it, well last night he was pawing at his mouth and I was worried he'd
scratch the top of his mouth with his nails (they are clipped short, but you
know) and I was wondering if maybe it was a sign of his tooth hurting more?
When we checked it, it SEEMED like the tooth had chipped off even more (its
one of the longest "fangs") If so what on earth do you do for a fert thats
broken his tooth? Fert dentures? I dont want him to be hurting! And he's so
goofy, cause he still bites at the darn cage when he wants out...which Im
sure is how he broke it in the first place...
Any help would be nice..
Thanks in advance!
