I dont know if their is still time for these top baby teeth to fall out or should I get them pulled. He hasnt been eating much and I am worried his teeth are getting painful. HELP!  |
Yep.....I happened to look in my Yorkie's mouth, saw the double rows and thought what the heck is this? Max had 20 baby teeth pulled at the same time he was neutered. He was a little down for about a week, but pulled through like a champ. He was on pain meds for two days after the operation, and then he got over it. Brave little guy....is fine now...bright shiney white strong teeth all filled in. If you don't have them removed, they get infected, or so the vet said. I've found that Yorkies are incredibly courageous little guys.
