I posted a few weeks back about tartar biuild up on the teeth of by 5 mo.
old female. Well, I saw the vet the other night and it isn;t tartar, it is
a permanent stain. I know it happens to dogs and cats when they are young
and receive tetracycline, and I guess it could be the case with my Sadie.
Maybe the breeder gave her an antibiotic when she was just a baby. Anyway I
am a little upset that her smile will never be white. Has anyone ever
experienced something like this before. I'd like to hear from you: just
your experiences or advise. Maybe there is a miracle cure. The vet seemed
to think it would not ever be a medical problem only a cosmetic problem.
