Hi there, thanks everyone for your advice on my previous post, this is kind of a follow up, I guess?
So, recently I took my beardie to the vet, roughly some time last month. Everything went well, the doctor said that she is very well taken care of, and there was only an issue with her liver, which the good news is we recently got a call saying that it was just an infection, and she is acting like herself again now.
Here's where things get kind of bad, so, the vet gave us two syringes for force-feeding, since she wasn't eating, we got home, my mom made my dragon a blend of greens and insects, she was trying to get my beardie to drink it, but my beardie kept trying to bite it. For context my beardie chomps on everything that is food and that she enjoys. We heard a loud crack, and instantly I knew something was wrong; we went over and checked on her, and she has lost a tooth, it broke off and was stuck inside the syringe. I made sure she was okay and I called the vet instantly. This all happened after we had just brought her back home. The vet said she should be okay since she wasn't bleeding or anything, but I am a bit worried because today I noticed that near the front of her mouth her jaw kinda awkwardly titled outwards, I'm not sure if this means her jaw is broken or not.
She's acting like herself and doesn't seem to be in pain, so maybe I'm just over-reacting, but she's basically my daughter and I don't want my little one to be in any pain.
Does anyone know if it's her jaw being broken or not? If it is, what can I do to help her, if she needs any help?
If pictures are needed just let me know and I will provide them.
To me it looks like its just the tooth, if she was in pain she would in all likelihood be black bearding. I think they can regrow some if their teeth Hopefully it will just come out and be replaced with a new one.
Even with part of a tooth missing it's just one. Is she getting calcium, calcium with D3, and multivitamin supplements with her food? Even if she cannot fully regrow a whole tooth she can heal some. Keep up on the supplement schedule. Is her UVB light new or old? I'm sure you know but staying in top of the basics in light of this added stress can be hard too

Lights new. She gets calcium, she gets a variety of healthy foods which she can eat. Currently she is just sleeping on my shoulder, hiding her head under mine, I don't believe she is stressed?
Theres nothing in the world thats better than beardie snuggles lol. She is adorable. I hope everything turns out alright. I really do think if she had broken her jaw she would be black bearding and would not want to be handled.
