Yep. That thin, curved tooth is a retained deciduous canine tooth (baby tooth). I've never seen it before but it's apparently common enough. I've been watching this situation for a couple of weeks, waiting for the darned things to come out on their own. But the adult canines came in farther forward along his jaw instead of directly behind the baby canines, so they didn't properly push the baby canines out.
Archie is scheduled for oral surgery on Wednesday!
