I am very confused at your post regarding your puppy's teeth. I checked back through many of your previous posts to see if I could get a better feel for your pup.
What I have learned is that you brougth him home when he was about 8 wks old, he is about 5 months old now. Please forgive me if I have misread your previous posts but it seems that you are concerned for his health, have taken him to the vet after he chased and killed a rabbit in your yard, want to feed a high quality food to assure that he has proper nutrition, are concerned with his teeth. Most puzzling is that you are a NURSE. I too work in the medical field and take the advice of my human doctors very seriously. Why would you then doubt what your vet has told me regarding your pups oral health? For this reason alone I would think you would understand how teeth can affect the health of pets and people. Prior to purchasing your yorkie did you do research on possible issues like double teeth, dental health in yorkies, spay and neuter for your pets health? Two of three of mine retained at least one tooth that were removed when they were neutered. A responsible pet owner takes every precaution to ensure that their pets health is maintained and preventative vet care is given. I personally live by the motto it is better to be proactive than reactive. If you visit the vet for advice on your pets health, why do you doubt his advice when it comes to something as important as double teeth in your pup?
