Teething/Rawhide question

This morning Breena was chewing on a compressed rawhide stick. All of a sudden I noticed that it was coming apart in threads so I took it away and threw it away. Breena has now started pawing at her face and moving her mouth around like she wants to get something out. I have checked in her mouth and there is nothing in there I also checked down her throat and in the fur around her face. Nothing. I did notice that one of her upper Kanines was red and looked irritated. She is teething and I am not sure if this is a new tooth or one on its way out. Could she be pawing at her face because the tooth hurts or should I be worried about the rawhide incident? BTW she is eating and drinking and biting like crazy. :twisted:
No more of those chews for us.

It could be a loose tooth. Since it is red I would keep a close eye on it to be sure it is not an infection.
I froze a Kong full of peanut butter for Mojo when he was teething.
Thanx for the advice. Breena just lost a tooth on the bottom. We were playing and she stopped and coughed out a tooth in my lap. Not the one that looked red but another one. I will keep an eye on the other tooth though. What should I be looking for if it is infected?
Will she let you feel the tooth at all?
Is it wiggly?
As far as infection goes,watch for the redness to get worse or spread.
Also any swelling or drainage. And of course, check with your vet if you have any doubts about it.
Thank you so much for the tips. I will watch to make sure that the tooth doesn't get infected.
