Blitzen, the fuzzie I just adopted from the local shelter, came with bad tooth issue. Its a defective tooth that kinda sticks out a lil bit, and is a smidge longer then the other canines. Well the tooth not only is defective but it also punctured his lip! you can tell that its been there a while and its not fresh... but it is deep! and it does give him some issues chewing, it hurts and it makes him grind his teeth So he goes to the vets soon, depending on if my vets hand is healed yet (its broken) to get it fixed. Fingers crossed he just has to get the tooth filed down, if not he'll have to get it pulled and I really really worry!! as the tooth is "healthy" so it would make it harder to pull and that makes it a high risk for broken jaw *sighs* Anyhow I thought I'd share a pic of it, its so gross and crazy to look at. I'll have to update everyone when he gets it fixed! Here you can see the hole, and the hole is so deep! You can see how the canine sits inside the lip

Ouch! That does look pretty painful, poor little guy. Interesting to see though. Hope all goes well when he sees the vet!

I saw a kit like that in the shop, his was worse, he looked like his lip was permanently raised, almost snarling. I felt so bad for him.. I almost bought him just so he could go to the vet. It was bleeding a little bit when he ate, but when I went back he was gone =/ I just hope someone gave him a good home and got it taken care of.

Poor baby! They have such cute little mouths. One of my ferrets had a lower fang that pushed up his upper lip when he was a baby. He looked like he was snarling like Sid Vicious. LOL. It slowly corrected itself. From the looks of that hole they will most likely file it down a good amount.

Poor little guy! I couldn't imagine the pain he is in. When I have a minor tooth ache, I cry like a baby! I just could not imagine eating with a tooth like that. Your little fuzz will be in my prayers!
