My 11 week old puppy caught his tooth on something and it fractured at the gum line, there's a small corner of his tooth left but it basically fractured in the centre then down and across, it was his long canine tooth and it's now equivalent to a small back tooth, there's a red bump where the half of his tooth is missing coming out from the gum line, it's almost like a blood blister and causes him no pain, he yelped when he cracked his tooth but let's me touch it and the area around it with no pain, he has a vet appointment on the 29th for his shots and I will ask them about it then, but I would prefer not to get it pulled as these are only his puppy teeth, has anyone else had this or know what that is and what did you choose to do? I have dental background and I know it's not the pulp or roots or he would be in intense pain, I believe it's a blood blister from the angle he fractured the tooth on, I'm just more worried about an infection

Hiya! A few months ago my partner and I decided we were going to get a puppy! Where to start, what breed do we want, do we want a purebred, do we want a shelter dog, what! We decided on a Border Collie after deciding we wanted as close to a second Kasha as possible. Kasha is my first baby, she's 12 years old and she's a Border Collie, Corgi mix we love her to death and he has a pretty serious heart murmur but she has been and is a great dog. So we got a pure bred border collie from a breeder who does AKC shows, herding, agility, rally, everything. We met our little boys parents they were great dogs, happy dogs well taken care of, energetic they were great! So we took this little boy that we now call Tyrael (like cereal but with a T!) home on September 11. So far he has been amazing! He's learning very fast, has manic nights and the cutest bark! My old lady isn't sure on him yet but she's slowly getting used to him as she teaches him doggy manners. As a puppy Kasha hardly chewed on anything other than maybe a rope or a plastic bottle but Tyrael(!) this little boy will chew on anything he can put in his little mouth! Cords, bolts, metal bed frame, shoes, doggie dishes, the other dog(!), our feet, clothes, wood, I'm sure the picture is clear. We have presented him with ample toys, he has a nylabone, kong wubba, two ropes, a tennis ball on a rope, a tennis ball, a dogobie, a squishy strawberry toy, a squeaky skunk, a plushy squeaky, a piggy ear(not imported) and a bone(not cooked). He will chew on any one of those for a few moments then go for something metal or a cord again. What the heck can we do! I'm not used to all this chewing! He's driving us just a little crazy with those puppy teeth. We have tried ice cubes, carrots, potatoes, apples, and frozen wash cloths. Anyway, thank you in advance for suggestions! Here is my little boy ;>
