has anyone ever had to have one of their fuzzies teeth extracted??? i was just told by my doctor that my five year old fuzzy, hashimoto, needs to have his front tooth removed. it's rotten (he chipped it when he was young, and now it's gone bad). my vet says that once its removed he'll be fine, except his lip will curl in a little bit. but i'm worried about him. i'm worried how he'll adapt to having only one front tooth after the surgery. it seems like it would be hard for him to eat. i'm wondering if i'm going to have to hand feed him for the rest of his life. hashi is "king" at our house. we have seven other weezels along with him. i'm worried that he'll get picked on by the others. five our fuzzies are pretty old, but three of them are wild young guys. it's hashi's job to keep them in line.i wonder if he'll have a hard time? of course, i thought of all these questions after i left the vets office today. so i'll call and talk to the vet about some of my concerns later, but i was looking for some advice from you all. does anyone have any advice? anyone been through a similar situation??? thanks a bunch, melanie [Posted in FML issue 4460]
