What's wrong with this dog's tooth?

• What's wrong with this dog's tooth? Elise Murphy Posted : 2/14/2008 10:02:53 PM My friend showed me a picture of her dogs tooth and we don't know what's wrong. Does anyone know? http://i30.tinypic.com/e71m3c.jpg http://i31.tinypic.com/1z513mb.jpg http://i29.tinypic.com/2dieqv7.jpg LIKE 3 REPLIES 696 VIEWS LAST POST MRV Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I think it might be a bit late for just brushing, a dental may be in order to properly remove all of it. Enamel won't grow back, so the tooth may always look a bit funny. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mrv Posted : 2/15/2008 7:50:16 AM Is the dog crated?  I had the extact same pattern on Dess.  Although crate trained from a young age, had taken it into his head that he did not want to be confined in a wire crate.  Those very regular markings could be damage from putting teeth on crate wire... been there, done that  with the doggie dentist and a broken canine too.  Switched to mesh crate, no problems. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
