Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / October 2006Lost Tooth
I caught a feral kitten this evening, about 2-3lbs. Photo at: http://spiretech.com/~guynoir/livestock/broketooth.jpg shows broken/knocked out tooth, caused when he tried to tear my arm off. Can anyone tell me if it's a baby tooth or an adult tooth? Will his adult tooth grow in normally? Thanks, John Kimmel >I caught a feral kitten this evening, about 2-3lbs.

I don't see how you could knock an adult canine out without significant trauma (i.e. hit by car or flung into a wall while you were trying to dislodge him ;-)). A lot of baby canine teeth are pretty fragile -- I see puppies all the time who've broken theirs off. Never seems to cause a problem.
