Ok, after many many times of fearing this would happen.... Tonight one of my five week old pups grabbed hold of my shoe lace as I was hiking my leg to climb over the fence....yup.....yanked her right upper canine right out! ARGH! I feel horrible! Now of course all the worse case scenarios are running through my head - does anyone (any orthodontal specialists on the list *hopeful grin*) have experience with pups losing their canines at such a young age and how worried should I be that this might affect her bite as she grows..... Judy in MN (who won't sleep tonight worrying and feeling bad!) Side Note: Anyone ever realize how long their teeth roots are???????? WOW! I have been trying to take a close-up picture but the camera doesn't want to focus well. Will try tomorrow in natural daylight. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
