Rio had double fangs too and we used to call her our little "monster!" Her baby fangs were preventing the permanent canines from getting to the correct spot. Her vet said it was important that the baby teeth come out so her bite would be correct and to prevent dental/gum issues as an adult. We had her spayed at 8 months old (she was only 2.8 lbs and we would never put her life in danger by taking any chance of her getting pregnant) and she had her four canines pulled at the same time. Her permanent canines eventually migrated out to the correct place but her vet told us to encourage her to bite her little tennis balls to help push the teeth out to their proper place.
