| Like pulling teeth My wee man Duncan, needs to have 4 baby teeth pulled as his adult teeth are in. My vet, who is a yorkie lover as well, told me that it is somewhat common for this in yorkies, but they need to come out b/c of possible decay problems in the future. I'm so nervous about sedation as hes only 3 pounds. Any advice would be so helpful. |

| I agree with the vet. Ellie's teeth were let go and tartar did build up. She had to have nine ADULT teeth pulled and had severe periondontal disease. Now she has her canines (fangs) but not her incisors (front teeth). If only I would have brushed them sooner and had dentals done... She is okay though. It is a good way to identify her.
