 Tooth extraction with Spay?
I thought I'd ask you guys about this because I'm curous as to how often this occurs. When I had my first yorkie spayed, the vet had tried to reach me while she was still under anestesia because she had some baby teeth still in. I wasnt; able to call her back until about an hour later to give her an ok to extract them but by that point she was out of anestesa already and it was too late. About 6 months later the vet told me that she had one baby tooth remaining and recommend that we have it extracted which we did.
Now we have our two puppies which will be getting spayed in a month. She is already asking us ahead of time if she should check for baby teeth and extract if they are there.
Is this the norm? Do yorkies tend to keep their baby teeth longer than they should? I hate having to put them through anything extra if i don;t need to...but then again I also don't want to put them under anesthesia in the future a 2nd time if those darn baby teeth stay in like the one did for my little Belle.
