So help me, Bast.
Maddie lost a tooth the other day.
Yep. One of those. It was one of the premolars. She'd had one pulled a couple of years ago when we had her teeth cleaned. This one, unfortunately, went bad and started falling out on its own. The first we knew of it was when Maddie started pawing at her jaw and acting distressed. LadyRanger immediately found me and we bundled Maddie into the carrier for a quick trip to our vet. The tooth was hanging by a thread. Dr L. gave Maddie a quick whiff of gas and popped the tooth out. Over in about 15 seconds. Maddie's other teeth look good, so we hope we won't have to deal with this again. We gave her gooshy food, Laughing Cow cheese, and thin sliced deli turkey for a couple of days, so as to not stress the wounded gum area. Maddie seems quite back to her usual self now, chomping on her kibble and snarfing Greenies treats whenever she can get 'em. Whew!
