I had Cassi spayed around 6-7 months. At that time, I told them to remove all her baby teeth and vet said she did not remove the baby canines b/c the adult ones were not growing in. So at the time of spay she had 7 baby teeth extracted. Around month 8, the two bottom baby canine fell out but the top never did.
I haven't had the top baby canine extracted yet b/c Cassi may need surgery for LP. I'm taking her to Ortho specialist in May. So if she does indeed need surgery for LP, I'm going to ask them to remove the top baby canines at the same time. If no surgery is needed for LP, then I'm going schedule for her to have only the teeth extracted. As of now, I've been trying to brush her teeth daily. In addition, I just started to use Petzlife on her. I'm also going to try to floss her teeth more and give her more bully sticks.
