 losing puppy teeth?
so, today i went to feed my pup and saw something white in her bowl...
i picked it up and freaked out when i saw it was a tooth! i didn't know about puppy teeth falling out until i read up on it some today after it happened.
i showed it to my 3 year old who was amazed by it. he decided he wanted to "show it to the dog," so i let him hold it and he walked up to her and was trying to get her to look at it. well, being as though she licks his hand every time she gets near it and eats everything - she licked the tooth right up and ate it!
i read also that it's common for puppies to swallow their teeth. this is all new to me.
i'm just wondering - are there any risks involved or things to look out for when puppies are losing their teeth. i saw that it can be painful (i guess like a baby teething) so what can you do to help, if anything? |
