Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old Pyrenean Mountain Dog was brought in for limping after a fight with another dog. The veterinarian discovered that the cause of the lameness was a piece of a canine tooth that had lodged in the dog's leg. Once the foreign body was removed, the dog's lameness improved significantly, and it was able to walk normally again.
