He is very close to 6 months and its about time to get him neutered and I wanted to have the babies removed then, but should I wait until ALL the adult teeth have come in to get the neuter/removal of baby teeth?


Is this a big deal? I know its fairly common, but Im worried. Advice please!
Too many teeth! My Chipper had the same problem ... They called him the little "Shark" at the Vet, I guess sharks have multiple rows of teeth! We had him neutered at about 8 months and they pulled the excess teeth at that time. He's 11 yrs. now, and just had all his top teeth pulled except the two long canine! ... I hear that's not uncommon either, for small dogs teeth to go bad. Neither has ever caused him a problem, and he still plays a mean game of tug of war!
