Teeth/Nervous. Lilly our 9 month old has double eye teeth. I was not too concerned over this as Tia who is now almost two has the same and they have never caused any trouble. We had been told with Tia to wait until her first cleaning and then have them removed. Normally, they would have removed the double teeth at time of spaying but Tia came to us already spayed and Lilly came to us from rescue at 13 weeks and rescue had done a pediatric spay.
I noticed Lilly had stinky breath and started really examinging her mouth and gums and noticed that her one baby tooth was brown and cracked. Rotted. I brought her to the vet yesterday and she has to go in Thursday for a dental. They are going to remove both double teeth.
Just nervous as she's only 4 lbs. and also wondering if this is going to be the start of a road with bad teeth. She is so young to already have a tooth rotted. NONE of my Yorkies ever lost their teeth. My oldest passed away this past summer from Cancer. He was 10 and always had beautiful teeth. This is all new to me. I am really worried about such a small pup being put under.
