Yesterday after the extraction and this morning, the gums around where the tooth was looked great. There was a closed area there, looked fine.
He just ate, and for my own sanity, I was going to wash the area of extraction with a syringe of water (just to prevent buildup of the soft tripe he's eating) and there's a hole there!
The edges look good, and I understand that there's going to be a socket where the tooth was....but this scares me. Is it going to close up? Is it going to turn into a fistula? Its not up on the gums, its right exactly where the tooth was. The gums could have been swollen yesterday and this morning, right? Now its the socket I'm seeing?
He's on an anti-biotic for 7 days, twice a day - should I wait it out and see if it closes or should I take him in again?
