I just noticed today that one of Solo's K-9s is chipped. I brushed his teeth just two days ago and didn't notice anything, so it must have just happened. I wonder what he did or what happened?!? He does like to chew on things, I have caught him knawing on wood...he also plays hard when I get out some of his toys. Hmm..

I'm just disappointed because now his mouth is ugly Anything medically I should be worried about? I know when humans chip a tooth the nerves can become exposed and it is very painful.

You probably should have a vet take a look. If it is too deep, it may need to be removed.

Oh no I would hate that !!! I'll get a pic of it to show you, it isn't that bad but definitely noticeable. I probably should still go to the vet

Believe it or not, he was purring during these pictures haha

If it is just the tip and is not bothersome, then there is probably nothing to be done about it.

Awww poor Solo!!! It IS pretty noticeable. Hopefully it's nothing.

I wonder how he did that!! It seems like it would be pretty hard to do aside from chewing on rocks!

I really don't know how he did it It has got me pretty upset because I had been taking in so much pride from keeping his teeth all pretty and clean. *sigh* now he just has a defining and unique characteristic.

Oh dear! Is Solo eating normally, any signs of pain? Did you bring Solo to the vet?

Thanks for the concern Wilson!

Yes, Solo is eating fine. A piggy as usual. No, there are no signs of discomfort, he still lets me touch his mouth and teeth, and brush his teeth with no bad reaction. I will take him to the vet if he starts acting weird, but I am sure this isn't anything major.

Awww I'm sorry...you said he was purring in those pictures you took..so clearly Solo does not have a problem with it! and you're right, now he is unique, and at least you can't see it all the time
