All of Higgins baby teeth were firmly implanted, with no sign of adult teeth emerging, when he was neutered at 5 months. So, they didn't take any out.
About 1 month later ALL the adult teeth arrived. And all the baby teeth came out (never found any, though), EXCEPT the four canines. Well, he is now 8 1/2 months old, so the vet is going to remove the baby canines tomorrow. It means anesthesia, and even though he didn't have a problem last time, it worries me. I'll be in here biting my fingernails until he's "out." The tell me that it goes really, really fast so not to worry. |
