Thank you for responding, Dr. Williams. I'm wondering if the tooth
can be pulled. I'm not certain how much that tooth is used when
eating. The gums are inflamed. I try to keep an eye on their teeth
and have regular cleanings. Chester has only been with me about 16
months with an unknown history. I don't even know how old he is.
This is his second teeth cleaning at the vets' office.

I was afraid of that. I guess we will need to go ahead and take a
lymph node for testing.
Thanks again
