My sweetie is starting to lose baby teeth. She just turned 5 months old. When they start losing teeth, does their behavior change a little? I noticed Triss' ears are drooping, shes a little more sleepy, not as playful, and she's been avoiding water. Then, as soon as one of her teeth fell out on the floor, she started playing and chewing on her bully stick.

Could teething be causing her behavior changes and droopy ears, or does this sound wrong and maybe I should take her to the vet? I thought she may be depressed because we just moved to a new house.

What is your experience with this?
