Thanks, I guess I'm just being a wus, but it's tough to think about pulling it myself. Her adult tooth came in beside it.

Me too! Poor baby, if it's tough on us, it has to be tougher on them. She's getting spayed next month, so any that haven't come out on their own will be pulled at that time.

Dont wait too long.... this happened with my pom. her baby tooth hadnt quite fallen out yet (it was just sort of hanging there) but i did not know. Then her adult tooth had come in with the babytooth still hanging there! So the baby tooth rotted and caused an infection in her mouth. I didnt kno about it until i took her to the vet for her shots and vet noticed it. It was very loose so all he was giv it a little tug and out it came (he didnt even charge for that). The vet told me it was painful for her cuz of the infected tooth. She had to be on antibotics. I did notice her breath smelled much better afterwards tho.

WOW! Thanks for the warning! Who knew?
