The front teeth that have moved don't seem to be loose. Can you please advise thank you she is a Jack Russell and is 12 years old. Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | spayed

Ouch! Scrumpy probably had very diseased teeth that were already loose and they got knocked out of place in the scuffle. The other possibility is that she broke her jaw, although that is less likely She needs to go under anesthesia and have her teeth cleaned and any diseases teeth removed. I would recommend calling you veterinarian right away and seeing they can see Scrumpy today or tomorrow. She is probably in more pain that she is letting on and will be much more comfortable once those teeth (or her jaw) are taken care of. Best of luck!
