Yesterday we took Lacey and Logan for a walk. My husband was wearing his big steel toe work boots (not sure why :). While Lacey was walking she walked a little too close and he bumped her in the mouth with his foot. It didn't seem that hard at the time. She didn't make any noise or act like she was in pain. Later that night I heard her chewing on something and went to see what it was. It appeared to be one of her teeth. I took it from her and looked around in her mouth. Yep, she was missing one of her middle teeth on the left side of her mouth, the opposite side she would have been bumped on during the walk. We had also given her a new kind of dental treat earlier in the day. I don't know if either one of these is the reason her tooth fell out or if they are completely unrelated. I have never experienced anything like this. I don't know if we should take her into the vet to haver her teeth examined. There isn't really anything they can do about the tooth she already lost, but I am worried. Her teeth just shouldn't be falling out like that...

Well, I wanted to keep everyone up to date on Lacey's progress. It has been 16 weeks since her surgery and she appears to be better. She is running and jumping around like her old self again. I am soooooo happy that she is better and we do not have to keep her locked up any more. It was getting really hard to do and hard on us. I just keep my fingers crossed that we never have to go through something like that again. Good Luck to anyone who must undergo something like this in the future.
