I learned something new today. Yorkies have what's called caps. Sydney's vet removed her remaining three baby teeth, but there are teeth in the back that come out when the new ones under pop up. The vet said most dogs swallow them so people don't realize that their dog is still losing teeth. In fact, the vet was able to wiggle another one of her caps out (and it didn't hurt her). He said she has a few more to go. I asked him about giving her one teenie Greenie a day and he said that Greenies are very good for dogs. So, she got a Greenie after we returned home.
Another thing I didn't know is that a Yorkie can go through several personality changes from 5-8 months of age. I was telling him how Syd was doing great on her potty training. She was going to her wee wee pads without issue until yesterday. Now she acts as if she's afraid of them, or at least where they're located. He just laughed and said you have a teenager on your hands lol. I have a 4 lb. teen lol. Anyway, we are back to me having to take her to her wee wee pads and blocking her in until she goes. I'm hoping she'll outgrow this phase soon. |
