| Hi, everyone! I'm a new member! Hi, I'm Julie. I have a 9 month old Yorkie named Nikki. She's precious, fun, tons of company to me. She's sooo smart! She has a beautiful coat, very thick long hair, and HUGE ears! It's so funny because she looks like a bunny when she runs. One problem: Her breath. It's horrible. She hasn't lost ANY of her baby teeth, so she has a mouth full! The vet said that's the reason her breath is so bad. Her baby teeth have rotten roots. But if they are rotten, what's holding them in? Why hasn't she lost any if there's no root? Thanks for all your help!! |

| Are you going to get her spayed? If so, that would be a good time to have them extracted...Being as she has to be under anesthesia for both procedures, why not do it together ! And of course, Welcome to yorkie talk ... We all love our babies here !

| Welcome! So glad you found us. I agree. That would be the perfect time to get rid of those baby teeth!

| Welcome to YT! Could you give Nikki something to chew on to help her loosen them so they may (at least some) come out on their own? Abby lost all of her baby teeth except her canines and I'm praying they fall out before she's spayed. Can't wait to see pictures of Nikki

| Hi and welcome to YT. Mine have horrible breath cause they chew on bully sticks. Good luck with your little one...ask the vet if she needs to have the surgically removed. Hot Rod had 14 removed at the time of his neutering. He was 6 1/2 mos old.

| I tried to get a profile shot of her loaded, but my file was too large or course, and when I tried to resize, my photobucket encounters some sort of problem and shuts down IE immediately. I'll get an album going soon, though. Thanks for your reply!! |

| He recommended having them all extracted, to the tune of $900.00 (PetSmart, the rulers of how to get money out of you fast). I have given her all sorts of toys to chew on, rawhide sticks (I hold it for her so she wont swallow) bottle caps, everything safe, but so far, she hasnt lost any. I was just trying to avoid a huge vet bill. |

| I'm trying to get photos uploaded, but I'm having NO luck at all. I upload all the time to other sites, but for some reason I can't here. All my files are too large. I use photo bucket do my editing, but it keeps shutting IE down. |
