Hi Lisa
My ferret also has a broken tooth which turned yellow as it was damaged.
The vets' comment when he saw it during a checkup was that if the ferret
was brought in after the injury he could have done something to minimize
possible damage. As I didn't know when it happened it was a moot point.
The vet doesn't reccommend pulling it as long as it is healthy as these
canines are very very long and it would be very painful for the ferret. I
keep checking the gum around the tooth and as long as it doesnt become
infected or get red I don't have to worry! If it does get infected it
might have to be polled :(
hope this helps
