Have you ever helped pull a tooth from a pet?

Yes, I had a Rat Terrier who was 20+ when she died. About age 16 she started breaking teeth. One cold night she had a broken tooth start hurting. Pawing at her mouth and whining. Itwas too late and ice-y to go to the vet. My husband got out a toolman. I dosed her up with a tranquilizer we had gotten from the vet for another issue. We pried her mouth open. I reached in could easily feel the abcess. I went to wiggle it around to make looser and it came right out in my hand. No tool needed. I did it several more times. We eventually had all her teeth pulled.

Have you ever pulled one of your own adult teeth?

No. That sounds awful.

Have you ever had shingles?
