Thank goodness someone said that!!! Bella is a little over 5 mo. and has been teething for awhile now (I look in her mouth all the time, since I saw 2 at the bottom front barely poking their way back in, and have wiggled loose ones
, AND I found one on the carpet last week--I think it was one that had been in the back-ish because of it's shape!) Her breath is terrible, and I've been wondering if it was from the teething. I "brushed" her teeth the other day, and that helped her breath for a day or so, but it's yucky again! (I use the textured cloth dental wipes instead of a toothbrush.)
When should they have lost all their teeth?? Bella had one of her front dewclaws grow back (or at least part of it, it's pretty tiny), and the vet who did that surgery when she was a brand new and obviously still with the breeder said he would fix it after all her teeth were in (in case she needed to have some extracted--that way, only under anesthesia once!). I wouldn't bother with fixing it, but it must be sensitive because it bothers her when you mess with it at all....
