This may be a question that BART! will soon be asking. While on a backpacking trip this weekend, BART! discovered the small, rubber- handled shovel we carry for "cat-holes". He was only in possession of the rubber handle for a minute and I believe this is where he damaged his upper canine. It isn't broken, but you can feel a definite dent about 2/3 of the way down. I know this will weaken the tooth in general, and I am worried it will eventually crack and break. If this happens, what do you do for them (other than giving extra treats or money under their pillow). Lesley [Posted in FML 6246]
