Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 35 lbs
My dog has a crack in her upper right canine tooth near the top. I'm pretty concerned because the tooth seems discolored and I'm worried it might be infection setting in. I already have an idea of how much it'll cost to fix and I'm already on the task of getting the funds together. I'd just really like to know how long I have before the problem becomes serious. Do you think this is the case? I strongly thank you for any feedback provided.

The cracked tooth could have been caused by Sly (love her name!) chewing on something hard like a bone. You are right she needs to see a vet for this problem, and it would be best to have her seen as soon as possible. This can be very painful for her. Best of luck, I hope this helps and happy holidays!
