This is Bart.
Bart has had an abcess in his face (which you can see in the picture) since October-ish, and it was not clearing up, even after trying different antibiotics. He's also been going in every three weeks to have his teeth trimmed, because his bite has been crooked and he hasn't been able to wear his teeth down naturally. Today, while in for a trim, the vet pulled this tooth from his poor little face. The tooth had grown almost in reverse, starting under the 'gumline' and working its way around his face and coming up under his eye.
This is the tooth!!!
it's EFFING HUGE!
The vet said he's never seen anything like it. It's so bizarre. He said "I wanted to put it back in, just so I could go get the camera and record it coming out!!" When I got there, three of the girls damn near jumped me, and were all " JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE!!" It was hilarious. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that my vet saved the tooth and gave it to me. He ROCKS.
Anyway, this should really help poor Barty. It's almost like he's had a fish-hook in his mouth for three months. And yet, he was still always such a super patient, and the techs at the vet office LOVE him (as do I!).
