In addition, he had a very large cavity in his lower right tricuspid. It could not be repaired, so I extracted that tooth. It remains the toughest extraction I've ever done in my career.

Rex was then smuggled out of the clinic and returned to the kennels. Where he slept off the effects of the anesthesia.
