My 11 week old Bull Terrier puppy is constantly biting at our pant legs , and, well everything else for that matter (I'll save that for another post!). But just this weekend I was not wearing my normal yoga type pants so when he took to the leg of my jeans as I was walking away, I just did my usual quick tug and I heard something hit the ground. Well, the top right canine was broken off, just under the gum. The gums were bleeding. Elvis, my puppy, didn't yelp, so I'm hoping he wasn't in pain. Then today he was mouthing something hard and he kind of whined and pawed at his mouth. Looks like another chunk fell out. He is going for his 12 week old needles in 5 days but my question is: should I be calling the vet first thing tomorrow? If he wants to remove should I seek a second opinion? I've read other posts on here but most of them were for dogs closer to when their adult teeth were close to coming in. I don't want to do any sort of procedure on him unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Other details: there is no swelling, he seemed a bit more tired last night but maybe I'm paranoid. He is eating his food normal and is otherwise his crazy self. This is our first puppy so everything is new to us. I'm feeling really guilty and hoping I'm over reacting but also want to be fully informed.
Thanks for any and all of your info!!!!
