My lab pup just broke her tooth. half of it is broken and the rest is cracked but still attached to the gums. she is bleeding constantly but not a lot of blood is coming out. I wanted to know what should be done at this point. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | 2 months and 16 days old

Hello. Even though this is just a puppy tooth, you should probably have the tooth removed soon. The pulp cavity is exposed & this is a route for infection to ascend up the canal. Hope you can have this done soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
