And yes, of course he has teeth LOL they said if you dont start nhohw brushing his teeth then when he gets older he will never let you so its good to start now...so I can def see where they are coming from. They told me I should bursh then EVERYDAY.
The vet did not confirm that he was 6 weeks. He is now 7 weeks but if you say he looks older then that will be ok with me. And yes that is DJ in my picture.
Hope that answered all your questions... |
Actually I am even more confused since a six week old puppy should not have their first set of shot let alone on their second set of shots and be ready for their third set in 3 weeks.
Also, I am a foster mom and had a little guy once that we were told was 12 weeks old. When I took him to the vet I was told that he was closer to 5 or 6 weeks old because his teeth were just starting to come in.
The reason that I asked you about the picture in your avatar is that DJ looks much older than the 6 weeks that you have been told. So really what you are showing me and saying is that obviously this puppy is not 6 to 7 weeks old like you were told. DJ must be at least several weeks older than you think that he is. A vet can tell a lot just by looking at a dogs teeth and in particular how old they by the size, eruption of puppy or adult teeth, how mush tartar has accumulated on an adult dog teeth, and finally how worn they are when they become adults and finally seniors. So as you can see this was not a funny question but very legitimate and as you have stated in other threads he is from a shady breeder. It would not be unheard of for a breeder not to be truthful about the age of a puppy.
