| 9 mo old Baby Teeth Have Not Come Out Chloe is 9 months old and I have not seen any baby teeth fall out. No adult teeth have come in either. When are they going to fall out? Have I missed something here? How do you know what is adult and what is baby? I was waiting til then to get her spayed so I could do it all at once, now I'm wondering when they'll ever come. Thanks |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | I never saw any teeth falling out on either my 14 month Yorkie nor on my 2 1/2 year old Yorkie. On 6/1, Max the 14 month old, had 6 baby teeth remaining and Misty the 2 1/2 year old still has one baby tooth. I find it difficult to tell until my vet showed me the baby teeth. I was told that if Misty's is still there by the time she's 3, he may want to surgically remove it. With Max, I don't have to worry since he went to the rainbow bridge on 6/1. Hope this helps.

| I never saw Lola's teeth come out, just saw that she had a new growth or noticed maybe a wiggly tooth. They probably fell out and there may be a few left or your lucky and all have come out! |

| I have seen Teddy's baby teeth come out - it was interesting to watch him paw at his cheek, run around nervously, and then when it finally came out, he spit it on my kitchen floor and walked away. He had 6 retained baby teeth that had to be pulled two weeks ago when he was neutered. You can tell the difference between adult teeth and baby teeth because the baby teeth are like little sharp pins and the adult teeth are not as pointy or piercing and are more contoured. PS If your 9 month old does not let you open her mouth, you might want to work on this with her daily -- smear a small amount of peanut butter on your fingers and let her lick and then stick fingers in there and handle her mouth. You should be able to look in there - what if she got into something you had to retrieve? I did this with my puppy Teddy and he now accepts my fingers in there without issue. I've done these annoying things to my dogs throughout their lives and believe me it has come in handy. Good luck |
