Yesterday morning I was playing fetch in the living room with the three dogs like normal. I threw the toy for Lance and he ran into our coffee table. I made a loud thud so I went over to check his mouth. He wasn't bleeding. I checked his teeth. I chipped his upper right canine tooth. It broke off the tip and a little up the side. You could see just a small amount of red which I believe is the pulp.

I called the vet as soon as they opened at 8am. We went in at 2:45 and the vet looked at his tooth. She said we could put a sealant over it which is a temporary fix and will only last 6 months to a year and that would limit the things he can chew on. He is such a playful wonderful boy I hate to limit his activity. Otherwise he needs to have the tooth removed or have a root canal. I hate to remove his canine tooth since he is only a little over a year old. We have an appointment to go to a dental specialist in a little over a week to discuss the options.

I feel terrible...

We returned to the vet today instead of Thursday for Danni's shot and Dr Cindy weighed her again, Danni is now 3.6 pounds and the favorite of everyone in the office. As Dr Cindy put it she exudes perpetual cuteness.
