I don't recall when Tucker started losing teeth, but I know it continued into his second 6 months.

So do I insist on a rabies shot at this time based on the info from the breeders vet or start her entire vaccine series over per this vet? I will find a new vet - this was my first time to use this one although my mom uses him and likes him. What if the next vet bases his age solely on the teething pattern?

What other markers are there to determine correct age? I know with Tucker, the hair in his head was just starting to show silver roots at around 10 weeks and the little girl (we really need to come up with a name for her) has a good 1/2 - 3/4 inches of silver at the roots - does that tell anything about age?

Aack, what to do??? What if she were to get the rabies shot too early? or too late? (we use pee pads and won't be out side a whole lot).

Thanks a bunch,

Julie
