I was just wondering how much longer I should wait for it to come out. Thanks!!  |
If he is already neutered and he is 10 months old, I would schedule the appt with the vet and have it removed. My 1st pup was the same way, he was neutered at 5 months and still hadn't lost all of his teeth. I had no idea at the time that these little guys had such a hard time with their teeth. So at 7 months he had lost all but one of his baby teeth and the canine had come down right in front of it, the baby tooth wasn't going anywhere and oh man was it ever sharp! His breath was so foul, I could only imagine that it was decomposing in there. As much as I hated putting him under, I did.....and it was absolutely the best thing. He was such a happier dog afterwards, less biting, and his breath got so So SO much better. I wish my vet had told me to wait on the neuter as well, but no such luck. I feel for you, I really do. Good luck!
