| Blood!!!! Oliver had me freaked out last night.... Oliver just turn 4 months on the 19th. He is teething so he is a crazy chewer (luckily nothing has been destroyed). So i bought him this nylabobe (the clear yellowish one) to help with his urge to chew. So last night, he was on my bed chewing his bone while I was watching tv, and suddenly I turned around and there's blood on the bed!! Just a few small spots but I freaked! There's no blood on the bones however and as I check him there seemed to be no obvious sign of bleeding. I tried to check his teeth but he didn't let me. He also has two dewclaws and i thought maybe it hot caught in the bed sheet and bled but no such thing. He has been eating and playing fine though, still chewing on his toys and bone. I just wonder what it was. My fiancé thinks it's his gum since he is very rough with that bone. Should I be worry about that? On another note, he used to have one ear standing and one floppy. Now both are floppy as of last night! Last edited by akaryendy; 02-27-2014 at 06:50 AM. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I wouldn't worry too much about the blood - it's not too unusual for a dog to have some gum bleeding when chewing hard - especially if they're teething. Of course if it happens all the time in an adult dog, you'd want to have those gums checked out well. Sometimes a puppies ears will go floppy when they're teething really badly, btw. Interesting, huh? Do you want them to stand? If so, you may want to tape them if they don't stand up again soon...

| Should there be blood when he changes from puppy teeth to adult teeth? What if one tooth felt off, which drew blood, but I didn't find the tooth? what if he swallows it? Lol Oh and I don't care if his ears stand or floppy. Just found it odd that they are suddenly both floppy since last night too. He's a cutie regardless.

most times you won't find a lost tooth, they sallow it, but that will pass with his bowel movement. Babies are so awesome, little clowns, enjoy that lil boy, better he chews that bone then your furniture lol.

| Yeah he likes my fingers more than furniture lol. But he got a lot better, less biting and mostly just redirects his 'biting needs' on to the toys. Poor toys! I hope he wouldn't choke on any baby teeth when he swallows. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I agree that the small amount of blood is of little concern. A larger amount and a clear source would be. On the finger biting... Often times we "object" because of a puppies aggression in that area. But, they really are trying to hold and familiarize themselves with us. As we feel their sharp teeth, we attempt to withdraw and that exacerbates the situation. When this occurs, offer a finger to it, allow it to lick and "feel" of it's Leader's scent and substance. They're just trying to use their mouths like we do our hands and get to know you. When you withdraw, sometimes they don't want to let go and that's where the conflict starts.
