She'll start to lose them any time now... I bet she's probably already got a few adult teeth in there. Their milk teeth are much sharper and almost have a transparent look to them... their adult teeth are duller and more opaque in color. I believe puppies usually lose them between 4 and 6 months - some puppies hang onto them a little bit longer. Both my two kept most of their baby teeth while their adult teeth grew in around them - two rows of teeth! When it came time for their surgeries, Ruthie had 12 teeth pulled, and Oscar had 14 pulled. It's a good idea to encourage chewing as much as possible to get those teeth out on their own (will save you some $$$!!) and gentle games of tug will help get them out! |
