Just watch his bite. Incisor problems can cause molar problems => malocclusion because if it hurts to eat, they'll chew only on one side, just like we would.

We're dealing with just exactly this in one of ours right now.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, glad I am not the only one going through this. I am going to bring him to a vet to check his molars in about a week, once I'm back in a bigger city that has the proper vets

Well woke up this morning to medicate Coco and the tooth was loose so I pulled the upper portion off so he wouldn't swallow it.

Here's a cropped version of your pic:

You might want to experiment with moving a little further away and make sure to use the macro if you'd like it to be a little more clear. (oh, I see you were able to display it)

Thanks Lynx, yeah I just got my camera so I'm not too great with it yet. Here's an updated picture, looks like a nice healthy tooth is coming in underneath. Although it looks so much bigger then the tiny one next to it since that was the only tooth he has been using for awhile. He is off antibiotics now because he started to get diarrhea, but he seems fine and seems to be eating a lot better now that the bad portion of the tooth fell off.

That would be great Lynx. Yeah I am working on my camera skills, by the time the tooth is completely grown out I should be a pro. Thanks for the hint about the macro button, didn't know what it did. I'll add another picture in a couple of days, should be grown out quite a bit by then.

I think there's a learning curve for everything. I wish I had some experts sitting over my shoulder myself :-)

Here's an updated picture of Coco's tooth, now I have no clue whats happening. The new tooth coming in definately does not look normal.
