When she was doing this i could kinda hear a grinding noise like when you have a really loose tooth. She's a tiny girl and very sensitive so she won't let me open her mouth to take a good look. I have lifted her lips up to take a look but saw nothing. I think it might be a molar in the back 
Does this sound like she's teething
My other Yorkie never acted like this when she was teething, i actually didn't even know she had gone through her teething stage at all because she never acted any different.
I was wondering what I can do to make Bella more comfortable? She hates anything cold so freezing a toy or food would be out of the question.
Also she has been a little mopey today. What are signs of teething and how long does this usually last? |
ceeby just lost his first tooth yesterday. he was six months last week. One day last week I noticed him pawing the side of his jaw and putting his head down and acting like he was chewing. he did this once when he got choked on dig food so I grabbed him up and ran to my hubbg with him. he checked his mouth and we found a double too th on the bottom back where he wss pawing. We didn't even think it was loose but hubby worked it a little while I held him. then yesterday, he did the same thing and then started chewing and it was clicking in his mouth then he didn't do it anymore so we looked and the baby tooth had come out and he had probably been eating it. I don't know how long the teething takes but that is the only adult tooth Ceeby has. The vet said he said some uppers trying to push thru but nothing yet. Also about a month ago I had to take him to the vt for being lethargic and not wanting to eat. i asked him if his teeth could be the reason and he said it doesn't seem to bother most of them that much. but I have seen on here where some babies get really puny from teething. His ears haven't even flopped down. I haven't done anything to make Ceeby more comfortable because except for the one time he didn't act like it bothered him but i do play fetch and tug of war a lot with him to help loosen the baby teeth.
