I personally wouldlike to have them pulled but I don't want her going through all that.
If it were me - I would have them pulled - you are leaving her with extra teeth that could cause more problems with her bite if they aren't pulled - It's a pretty simple procedure and you should get bloodwork done first before having her put under....they can test her to make sure she is ok for surgery -

My Cheri had to have teeth pulled also - we did her spay at the same time and she was just fine and eating the next day...crunchy stuff !! she seemed much happier without the extra baby teeth too....I think they were sticking into her little lip -
