Infected tooth

[Scuzy 1]

Hi all,

I have 2 hobs right now and a while ago one of them broke his tooth while out ferreting, i didnt think anything of it at the time as it only chipped off the end of his tooth.

But now its turned a yellowish coulor and i can see the red root at the bottom, also he seems reluctant to bite anything and he always licks the food i give him for a couple of minutes before he actually grabs it off me and even then he seems reluctant to chew it.

Im worried as i think it might be hurting him when food goes up inside it, like a bad toothache and im worried as to what to do .

Any help apreciated.

 

Luke.

The vet will have him sorted no problems one of my poley hobs had a tooth removed because of infection the puss was coming out of his eye socket :sick: The vet said it was the first fert he had operated on it was the mid ,s then & a lot of my mates had ferts said "just knock it on the head" for the sake of £20 operation...
