My puppy is also about the same age as yours, he is currently 26 weeks.
In the last 6 days he lost 3 baby teeth. I got them out of his mouth when I saw that he was trying to chew on something in his mouth.
I'm concerned that if I'm not around he could swallow a tooth! You should also try to keep an eye on your puppy's baby teeth, and see if you can collect any.
I try to keep an eye on mine as much as I can. His ears are slightly floppier at times, but not too floppy. Maybe it differs from puppy to puppy, but like you, I also did read somewhere that floppy ears during teething are common.
I think when their teeth are growing it must be a combination of feeling pain, itch and discomfort, so they like to chew on something as it relieves that discomfort. Bailey usually prefers to chew on Roll Over Chews that are slightly softer and more digestible, but lately he hasn't had much interest in those and instead he keeps on chewing the harder chews, specifically Vet Enzadent Oral Care Chews. These are beefhides, but they are super hard, I picked those up at the vets office (they are super hard and don't soften easily so he can't easily swallow any large pieces of hide)
I also noticed today few small stains on his chew and on one of his toys. It is light red in colour, I think it may be a blood stain from when his baby teeth fell out. The baby teeth that came out were hollow inside and had a little bit of blood on them.
I am trying to figure out how many more teeth need to come out..... I'm not sure how many teeth he is suppose to loose. Any ideas?
Bailey started teething about 2-3 weeks ago, and his teeth came out SO QUICKLY! You can almost watch them grow, they are bigger every morning lol
He has a full row of front teeth now and his back teeth got huge very quickly! It took no time!
All you can do is watch for baby teeth, and provide some hard surface for her to chew on so she can get a relief on some of the teething discomfort. She'll have all her adult teeth shortly! |
