Help? Does Nikki need to go to the vet?

| How old is Nikki? Do the teeth appear to be broken, or worn down? Also, are the gums bleeding or red? What does Nikki like to chew on?
It is probably fine, it may have been from chewing chain etc like you think, and the teeth may be weaker due to malnutrition. They may strengthen somewhat once he is back into healthier condition. If you are concerned I would take him to the vet anyway, frequent check ups are a good idea anyway for a dog who was malnourished and is being brought back into good health, the vet should monitor weight gain and listen to Nikki's heart etc to make sure changes aren't happening too rapidly. |
| Thanks Willowsprite. He is 6 yrs old. They definately look broken. I have a vet here in town that is good about working with me with my rescues. How much weight is too much wieght to put on when they are malnurished? |
| I would go to the vet a broken tooth could get infected, not to worry you but having it checked will reassure you. |
