Significant update on Phyllis. A few weeks ago she smashed her lip in striking at her rat. Didn't think much of it as she's done that before and I corrected itself in a week or so. She then went into shed, lip got a little better but still a tad swollen and hadn't been pushing. Wasn't too concerned until I saw a little pus spot on her gums when she ate the other day. Looked in her mouth and there was definitely some cheesy matter so I prepared a few q-tips with betadine and went to clean it up. Dug out a big chunk of gunk and inside of it were two teeth! Either she broke them when she dented her lip in or they've been broken for a wand may have been the source of her persistent pushing. Either way, going to check on her gums daily with a light betadine clean up to make sure it heals well. She's back on newspaper until her face is back to normal. Surprisingly wasn't the hardest patient to deal with, I expected much more of a fight. She seemed to noticeably calm down when she realized i was trying to get that crud out of her mouth.
Disgusting mouth crud
One of two teeth lodged in the crud
