Our little Ginger had the doubled fangs and a few others in the back. They didn't show up until after she had been spayed, otherwise, our vet said, he would've pulled them then. We had to do another surgery to have them pulled and it really worried me but she survived just fine. Our vet said the biggest worry with doubled teeth being left alone, it the amount of tartar and plaque that builds up in between the teeth. Sometimes you can see it and sometimes you can't. Those crevices between the teeth are really narrow and deep.
With our new baby, our vet will look really closely at her teeth when she is spayed. Hopefully, if she is going to have doubled teeth happening, that it will show up at that time.
Yes, do it - no matter how old she is. I agree with everyone's comments so far, about teeth decay and the bills that could create if you don't have it done now.
Good luck and keep us posted.
