No that’s not a tooth. It’s a piece of tartar my vet (Dr. Todd) chipped out of Molly’s mouth. It’s about 3 mm thick and the penny is next to it to provide scale.
I should show this to my dentist and her crew as a comparison on how “easy” we humans have it. Molly doesn’t have an opposable thumb which is why she can’t brush and/or floss. Then again, I don’t know any cat that would unless the toothpaste had a tuna taste.
Molly is recuperating still. I think her pride is more wounded than her mouth. Somara gave her a treat of canned, wet food because the tartar removal curbed her appetite for the dry food Miette is hell-bent on eating.
