??  Walking in a circle or making a circle with his mouth?

I really don't have any expertise in this area, grizz,  just trying to

remember how our poor old Lab used to behave with different

ailments.   Will he let you touch his teeth? (Are you game?)  He may even have

bone/thorn/splinter stuck in his gum or cheek.

walks in a circle, around the table

ussually scoffs it down

mmmm...........might need to go to the vet

Poor doggy.  Hope he's not too miserable.  It's hard when you can't help them.

Breaks my heart.   I hope he comes good.   Good luck with a vet though.

Tomorrow's Sunday, so fingers crossed

australind vet is open sundays

he seems fine now. just while he was eating. weird.

do dogs get toothache like humans?

According to yahoo answers rubbing their muzzle on the floor or rubbing their feet on their face could indicate tooth ache.Also loss of appetite or chewing on one side of their mouth.

Yes, they do! My dog cracked his tooth on a bone (he is a bit of a bone piggy) and he had a sore mouth, slowed down his eating and his breath was awful.
