I've heard of them snagging them on things when their older, and it can be really painful if they are torn. I think I would be tempted to find a new vet too. Finding a vet that you can trust is really important part of owning a dog. Most Yorkies have to have some milk teeth removed, my vet gave me the teeth in a little vial, I hope your vet did too, but I've never heard of anyone needing to remove that many. |
I got all but one tooth as it went down the drain when they were rinsing them. He had 2 full rows of teeth on the upper and lower. I made the decision to have it done when his eye teeth started coming in. It looks like Maggie has lost about 6 teeth so far-she is 5 1/2 mos.
