Uh. Sure. *me pumped to get my adrenaline going*

I step in roaring to go and I see this

We did a dental on my cat about a year ago (resorptive lesion, how fun) and during the dental x-rays they found.

An extra tooth root. Randomly. The doctor showed me just as a fun fact because she hadn't seen it before.

Weird mutant cat boy.

This canine tooth *felt* solid, but as I was probing for pockets the texture of the root felt odd. The pulp inside the tooth was actually outside of the tooth.

Is your pet chipped? They should be. Do you know who made the chip?

Pet RFID chips are so small that there's really only room on them for a serial number. When your lost pet is brought to a shelter or a vet's office, they can scan the chip, read that number, and then type it into a program that draws from a series of linked databases to find your name and phone number. That's how they find you, and tell you that Silly Lilly von Wigglesbottom has gone wandering, and she's safe and sound, and would you come get her, please?

Texas-based Save This Life, which provided chips to vets and shelters all across the US, has all at once and abruptly gone dark; their database is just gone. Their customers were not given warning and so did not know to change their registration to another company. A lot of animals have basically become anonymous now.

If you don't know what company you've been using, call your vet's office and ask what pet chip number they have on file. If the chip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's probably a Save This Life chip.
