I just dropped Sprite, and he bit his lip hard. Now, he keeps clicking his back teeth in an unsettling way. I think he might have chipped a back tooth, please help!
 
He may just be really scared. Maybe check his teeth when he's feeling more calm?
 
I would monitor him for now but try to get him to the vets as soon as you can in the morning though if he deteriorates at all tonight he may need to be seen as an emergency. Do you know if he can eat? Just realised you are in the US, are the vets still open?

Only his lip had a Y shaped rip and some torn skin... Otherwise, he seemed okay...

If he's eating I would think he would be fine till tomorrow, you could sanitise his lip if he's not too upset.
 
Yes, I would monitor him & see if he's eating OK overnight & breakfast time. If you have any doubt at all then a trip to the vets is the best thing to do.
 
How is he now? the reason I suggested vets last night was because you were concerned about his teeth, is this still the case?
