Iggy went in today for what was supposed to be a routine cleaning. It turned out he had two resorptive lesions and they wanted permission to remove two teeth. We gave them the go ahead. Several hours later the surgeon calls back to say that while removing the first tooth (lower canine) he fractured Iggy's jaw. Supposedly it's a minor fracture and he sutured the jaw. He wants us to see a specialist tomorrow to get a full understanding of what's going on. There is some concern that there might be fragments left.
I'm just at a loss. This was never something that was discussed as a possibility. The vet wanted me to pick up Iggy this evening but I'm unsure as to whether I should have him hospitalized tonight or if bringing him home would be better? Should I be pressuring the vet to help pay for the specialist and follow up work. What else should I be asking?
