scary stuff, my brothers dog went through something few months ago, was playing around with another dog and his tooth got caught in the other dogs collar, lets say the tooth didn't stay in the dogs mouth, wasn't a cheap procedure either but worth every penny. Its amazing what they can do for animals now these days. Have a good day @kevinwong, glad to hear your dog is doing better! the medicine can be rough but usually short term? how long does he have to take it
