I made an appointment with the same vet, as I was furious. I couldn't get him to admit anything, said she probably bit the piece off while under anesthesia, and as for the permanent tooth, she probably didn't have one there in the first place. I know she did have it, as I was brushing her teeth all the time. I never thought about going to a lawyer, just took it and was very up-set. I guess things do happen, but I was not, nor am I still very happy about it.

The SAME exact thing heppened to Ruby. I took her for her Spay in Sept and she had to get her four baby canine teeth removed plus some back ones. When she came home she was really sore and out of it so i didn't dare go near her mouth but i noticed the tip of her tongue on the left side was black. I brought her back to the vet and they said it was due to her tongue being dryed out when she was under anesthesia and it would go away in a few days. So i went back home thinking nothing of it. Well 1 week later i went to brush her teeth and her tongue colour was normal but a piece of her tongue was missing
So i realize now that her tongue was severaly bruzed and the vet's won't admit to anything.
