The only thing that concerns me when removing a canine is that the other tooth often cuts through the lip or rubs the lip raw. That was the case with Odin. Many vets don't like to remove the canines because of the depth of the root (often growing in along the nasal passage,causing endless issues if the tooth is removed). I'm glad that everything went well. It's so hard when they cage rage and break up their teeth. Bacchus has done a horrible mess on his one tooth, but it's not causing him any pain (nerve is dead) and the tooth is in solid so it's staying there for now ciao

Yes it is a concern and I am not a fan of removing every chipped caninus, but in Vega's situation there was no other option since both were badly broken with sharp edges that allready were cutting his uper lip (you can still see it - but it is at least healed now). So I hope it will be just as it is I would really not be to thrilled to remove also the lower ones.

Crazy teeth accidents certainly do happen. I still have no idea how my cat Junebug broke her canine, but it happened. She also had to get it taken out.
