| Lucky You are lucky the canines ar coming out. My sweetie approximately same age as yours (Sept 17) had to have all 4 canines pulled when I had her spayed on Friday last. I used mostly canned foods when her mouth was sore. I am working her back into the kibbles. She is sort of sick of them, I fear. |

| Yep The rest of the baby teeth came out but those canines were hanging in there. She had 2 sets of canines, baby & big girl. The vet pulled the retained baby canines. She looked like a shark with extra rows of teeth for a while. |

| Yep Forgot to mention, if the extra teeth stay in it can increase gum & tooth troubles. So it's best they go. |

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | My Tia STILL has one upper canine left in and she will be 2 in July! Its very wiggley but won't budge . Its also lost its colour and I brush her teeth every day so she won't get mouth problems. I know it can't stay in much longer but don't really want her to go under just for the one tooth, we will have to see.
