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 >I need some help from you breeders out there. Two weeks ago I purchased a >new kind of ferret food.
