Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Teeth through the lip of a BCI
Hi guys, I've got an 09 BCI whose got a couple of his front teeth on his lower jaw stabbed thru to the lip, should I seek a vet for this or should I just wait for him to lose those teeth and regrow the new ones? One fell out as I was inspecting him, and he looks like he has 2 or 3 more sticking through. Any opinions and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

At least disinfect the wounds ASAP - a Betadine or Chlorhexadine wash.... I've nothing to offer on the teeth I'm afraid.
If you have time - what happened? Any pics?

Well I came back from a vacation to see hes still got some swelling but the lip started to push the teeth out on its own. I decided to do a lil home surgury yesterday because it didnt look infected at all, and was pretty much out. I grabbed the smallest probe I could find, and worked it out as gently as possible. After a few mins it popped free and I disinfected with betadine. Checked him today and theres no swelling, discoloration, or fluids. So things look to be good.
Thank you Helen for some advice. I noticed it after a feeding, but hes had these issues before but never a full puncture, so I was kinda worried this time. I handled this myself because I was comfortable not going to the vet. I in no way advocate anyone else who doesnt feel comfortable performing this on their animals, I do not have a degree in medicine. If u feel it needs to go to vet, take it. Thanks for reading.

Glad nature took its course, with a little help obviously... Not heard of this happening before, interested in theories as to how /why it happened.

My theories are that he is either a sloppy eater and just catches his lip sometimes, or he has some deformity that either grows his lip or his teeth crooked. But Ive only observed it after feedings, and he looks normal any other time, so Im pretty confident hes just a sloppy eater.
