Thanks for the information.

The tooth probably is a little loose, as the vet nearly removed it
when he did the first cleaning, but decided to give it a chance to heal.
And you are right, he already eats mainly on the other side of his
mouth, probably because the wonky tooth side doesn't form a proper
bite at the back as the tooth sticks out toward the cheek.

It is the lower right carnassial, so hopefully that means we won't get
any problems with sinus infections?

I am assuming he will get put on some antibiotics and possibly pain
meds? Also I'm assuming he'll need soft food for a couple of days
until it starts to heal?


Thanks,
Kate
