In March of this year, Chief's owner noticed a swelling in his mouth near a front tooth. It was diagnosed as an Epulus; a benign ( non-cancerous) outgrowth of the periodontal ligament. Although it was a benign, it was locally aggressive and needed to be removed surgically. The surgery required removal of the front of his jaw, including both lower canine teeth.
Chief, is doing spectacular. His family has done a wonderful job caring for him. He had to be fed only soft food until healed. He is now doing great!! Keep up the good work Chief!
