A splint was attached between canine &amp; carnassial but this only lasted 9 days before it dameen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/236723?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 25 Mar 2022 17:43:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:37dfd7a7-78cb-4597-be8b-95cd8a5c9f54Rob Davis<p><span style="font-family:inherit;">Have the premolars on the other mandible erupted? If they have then there is likely to be a problem around the fracture site.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:inherit;">It is fairly common to find malformed teeth at previous fracture sites which often become impacted. The deciduous canines need extracting anyway and the occlusion can then be assessed thoroughly at the same time.</span></p> <p>I would be getting this dog in for radiographs and thorough assessment now. If there are malformed unerupted teeth then they are probably best extracted sooner rather than later, but feel free to post photos and radiographs on here for further opinions.</p> <p>If you&#39;re worried about dealing with the unerupted teeth, then just book it in for canine extractions and radiography initially and then post on here for further advice.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
