Does anyone know where I can find a picture of an abscessed tooth in a Yorkie?

How do you know that's what it is?

I had a Yorkie that had an abscess in one of the I believe Canine teeth and I didn't know until the infection broke a hole thrrough the skin under his eye. The vet removed the tooth and the one on the other side as well and gave him antibiotics. Try searching picture of abscessed canine teeth

Yep, I did that...but I'm afraid she has one. At first we just thought she needed a teeth cleaning, but one of her top teeth is deformed and looks like it grew over another one. It looks painful...but you can only see it if you lift her gum all the way up...I think that's how the breeder missed it too.

Anyways she has an appointment for November the 27th to get it pulled and have her teeth cleaned...that was the first available...I just hope it's not too far away...
