tooth broke

[Joe67 239]

was looking at the hobs teeth and noticed one is shorter than the other and the broken one looks alittle bit different colour,maybe alittle more brownish.hes eating etc ok,from your experience would it be worth taking to the vets if hes eating ok and in no pain,no like the vet can rip it out and put in faulsers lol....

got one here with half its tooth snapped off. he did it a couple of years ago, the vet told me as long as its causing no pain and you cant see the nerve it will be ok. it is now a kind of dark yellow brown colour but still strong and not loose at all. ive also had one snap its tooth and it dropped out after a while and the ferret didnt seem to bother. so i shouldnt worry too much mate

If there's plenty of fang left, in the lower jaw they are usually ok, in the top row, it can be a little more serious. If its less than half the tooth i'd keep an eye on it just for the chance any abcess growing, there will be lots of signs though if things are going wrong.

Unless its bothering him leave it alone , you will know if its really discoloured or if hes pawing that side of his face

Chipped canines are pretty common. As long as the fert is eating well, with no redness around the gum of chipped tooth, no need to worry. Tooth might become yellow with plaque in the meantime, as fert will favour the 'normal' side for chewing for now, until it adjusts. Keep an eye, but in about 6 months chipped tooth will look very similar to other, just a bit shorter. Just watch for brown discolouration and bad breath (fert..), if so, vet visit, tooth abcesses are pretty unpleasant for all involved. Atb.
