Basenji with broken tooth?

My Basenji (Loki) had his tooth break off today. He's about 6 months now and I want to know if its alright. It's been bleeding for a couple of days and it finally broke off, the tooth didn't fall off. Thank you

Your Basenji is getting adult teeth. Some baby teeth will break off because the owner of those little milk teeth is trying to do adult things with baby teeth. Some will fall out but will be replaced.
Don't worry too much about it unless it keeps bleeding.

yes, I would worry about any tooth that has been bleeding for more than a day.

It could absess, get infected, and really hurt your B.

Blegh, if you want to see some serious broken tooth / doggy dentist issues, just take a look here! : http://whosyadoggy.com/dogforum/index.ph... The breeder who owns that dog may be able to be able to help you.

Good luck with Loki - take him to a vet if it doesn't look better quickly. :)
