Abbey has to have a root canal. We just got back from the vet, and her front upper left canine is dead. We noticed a discoloration, and after researching it a bit, I was pretty sure we would be at this outcome. She doesn't appear to be in any pain, it's not keeping her from eating, etc. but it does have to be taken care of due to the bacteria issue leading to potentially more problems. We're not sure how it happened, but the vet pointed out a small crevice in the tooth, which could have been made even deeper from chewing, blunt force, etc. and thus causing the bacteria to get in and the pulp of the tooth to die.
Has anyone else gone through this? Apparently its's pretty common. On Tuesday the U of M will be calling us to set up an appointment.
