    Well if it was my dog and he wasn't in any kind of pain - I'd wait. It isn't anything life threatening.

    Does it have a root? Or is there a broken rest of a tooth still in his mouth? Put it in a cup of milk if it is a broken tooth, and get him there now. Otherwise you can wait, as they won't be able to repair it by Tuesday. If the whole tooth fell out, I don't think there is much they can do.

    How old is he? Could it be a retained deciduous baby tooth that suddenly decides it wants out?

    A whole tooth should have a smooth rounded end for a root, something like this (for a canine tooth anyways).... http://www.readingmuseum.org.uk/hand.../dogtooth3.jpg


    If it doesn't have something like that, or similar if it's a multi root tooth, then there is probably a broken part still in the jaw.

    So I took Mister to our local ER vet. And the verdict is it is broken off.
    They dont do dental work there so I still have to see our regular vet. They gave me an antibotic untill I could get to see the vet....Oh but wait the story doesnt end there.. this is Mister we are talking about
    I came home and gave him the dose as they ordered and guess what happened...
    He had a allergic reaction to it. I called and told them They said he could have some bendryl and watch him
    So after a pricy and so far sleepless night I would LOVE some prayers and paws crossed for when we go to the vet Tuesday I promise to keep you all updated and thanks a million for you quick responses.

    PS...Mister is 2 years old..

    Awww, poor little pup. I hope he doesn't feel it.
    Sorry that you and mister are having to go through this.
