We talked it over with the vet, and he wanted to wait until Joey had enough of his permanent teeth come in so that he could pull the remaining baby teeth. Yorkies have a hard time losing all their milk teeth on their own, and since they have to be put under, many vet like to do this at the same time. I don't know that much about females, I thought the latest research said before the first heat, but others will know more. Since Yorkies are prone to tartar and some start losing their permanent teeth at the age of three because of gum disease, I think it's really important to be diligent with dental care. Congrats on your new baby! |
