Both dogs are back from their respective vets, and it's all good news!
Sadie's break didn't go deep enough to show any nerve or pulp after all. They were able to seal the tooth without any complications. Though she can't have super hard things to chew, she can otherwise return to normal activity. Even tugging is fine... if I can get to do it! And the tooth looks great. All the sharp edges have been smoothed over, and the sealant seems thick. The vet even showed my boyfriend pictures of what he'd done. I'm hoping he'll send them to us, so I can show you guys. (Nothing gross, I promise)
Maxwell now has super clean teeth... and no fracture! Apparently it's actually two teeth that grew together and share a root system. Weird, right? The vet is going to show the X-rays to a colleague for a second opinion and get back to us on Friday, but thinks that it's fine.
As usual, everyone at the vet's office went nuts over Maxwell. He's such a ham! I'm told that he was wiggly and happy, greeting everyone (two- and four-legged) with enthusiasm. Also, the vet said he was up very quickly after the anesthesia and excited to see everyone.
Now both pups are happy to be home, though still feeling the drugs. They are currently curled up, sleeping on the couch with us. It's a loveseat, which means we're really squished. Sadie is on the end, with her head and front paw in my boyfriend's lap. Maxwell is being used as an armrest, and has his head and all four paws on my leg. It's warm and comfy.
Thank goodness for healthy dogs!
