Sushi's Terrible Teeth

I managed to get a picture of Sushi's teeth from the front last night which illustrates how sharply her teeth turn to the sides, as well as how far apart the top and bottom are from ever meeting.


This picture is fairly grainy, but you can see the dark orange upper incisors (pointing toward Sushi's left) and her lower incisors pointing into her right cheek. At no point do the upper and lower teeth touch.

She returns to the vet later this week and I'm curious what he will say about the color of the upper incisors. The pinkish hue has spread lower into them, and last month he said that the color indicated the teeth were dying. That could make it easier for her when it comes time to pull the teeth entirely, but it could complicate things until that time. Poor girl. I hate that she has to go through this.

Regardless of her teeth, Sushi still enjoys eating!
