A vet then needs to take the baby teeth out so food and plaque doesnt get inbetween the teeth and cause problems. Also if the baby teeth havent came out by 1 yr old they need to be removed. Most people just have the vet remove any baby teeth that are left at the time of the spay/neuter so their yorkie doesnt have to go through anesthia twice.

Good post!
