| Loose teeth and swollen gums, not wanting to eat this morning and looks so tired. Hi everyone, just need some advice on what to do. Sheldon's teeth are loose, he has 4 on top and 4 on bottom that are loose and gums are swollen. He hasn't had anything to eat this morning and his tummy is making all kind of noises. Anyone had experienced this with their puppy? Thanks so much! |

| Why are his teeth loose? Is he a puppy? I would be worried about infection and gum disease good luck and keep us posted on how he is doing

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Well good that he is a puppy. You can freeze a kong toy, and then use some treats in eat, and the cold kong will help to soothe the gums as he chews.
