Hey all,

So two things:
1) Oscar's baby teeth are not falling out, and he literally has 2 rows of teeth, top and bottom. He was neutered almost a month ago, but the baby teeth weren't through yet, so they didn't pull any. Has anyone else had this...and does it get better...and how can I help them loosen and possibly fall out?

2) I took him to the vet to get him checked out. She said to give it to the end of the month (he's not quite 6 mos yet) and if they haven't changed, they will pull them. The problem is, she has quoted me $1700-$2000 for the extractions, xray and anesthesia. Is is just me, or does this sound rediculous???

I put a post in the "Pacific Northwest" section, but I thought I would check here. Does anyone recommend a vet somewhere North of Seattle? (I'm in Vancouver, BC right now, but could travel south of the border if it would be cheaper) I'm just afraid the vet here is taking me for a ride....

PLEASE pass along whatever advice you can offer!!!
