I was out running a couple of errands today and when I got home I saw something on my carpet, I went and picked it up and it was a tooth! I didn't see any blood or anything, although Holland has been kind of pawing at her mouth for a couple of weeks, like something we might do if we had something stuck in a tooth or something (that's the only way I can think to describe it). Several times I tried to check her mouth when she was pawing at it, but she would not tolerate me touching her face. I didn't think too much of it, because that's just how she is, she doesn't like to be touched on face or paws.
Anyway, so now I'm thinking maybe it was that tooth that was bothering her. She seems to be eating OK, and she hasn't given me any indication that she's in pain, but then again she's not a complainer. She rarely makes a peep. She still won't let me check her mouth though.
I am going to call her vet tomorrow - she's due for her annual checkup anyway - but I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has had this happen. She's not even two years old yet, so I'm hoping I'm not going to have a lifetime of dental problems on my hands. I can't afford anything major right now...

He was 12, though. I chose to leave him with people he knew and trusted instead of taking him years ago...
