| Pulling puppy teeth I posted in the other thread that Sunny got spayed yesterday. Along with being spayed, she also got 12 puppy teeth pulled!! I should have taken pictures as to what she looked like before and after her teeth were pulled. Before they were pulled she looked like a shark. All her adult came in and she had doubles of all her canine teeth along with a full top row of adult and puppy teeth. Along with some back teeth. After they were pulled, her whole mouth looks smaller and narrower. If that makes sense. Her teeth now look so much better. The Vet said that a good portion of them would have never fallen out and just a few were "dangling" and would have fallen out the next time she chewed on her bully stick. I can tell she is more comfortable. He said that with all those teeth, just running her tongue along them had to be somewhat painful. He even gave me a discount, he charged me for 6 pulled teeth as opposed to 12. At $10.00 per tooth, I was appreciate! Bobbi

| That has to help her dental health to get rid of those teeth

| Yes, that will help her comfort level a lot, I imagine.

| I'm sure it would be painful for her tongue to run along all of those teeth. I'm glad she is more comfortable. The vet probably gave you a break on the cost, because many of the teeth just came out easily. Glad that is over. Growing up for a puppy isn't always easy.
