Rocky, my 9 week old does not have all his baby teeth. The vet said it is an overgrowth of gums called congenital gingival hyperplasia and he wants to go in and surgically cut the gums back to reveal the baby teeth. He said it should be done sooner rather that later and has it scheduled for Monday.

This is my first small pup

Any thoughts or concerns? Have you ever seen or heard of this?

Thanks so much!

Marcie
