Missing Teeth

[emetzger]

Hey guys, I shot a big fat doe last afternoon of the TN deer season. I figure she is old but have never seen one with teeth missing like this. Any ideas why here teeth are falling out other than being very old?

Thanks for looking.

Do I see green on the left side jawbone? Is that plant material or infection/rotten? Regardless that doe had many years on her feet.

She had a mouth full of grass. I was wondering that though, if she had bad teeth or something. Never seen it before.
