Let me clarify. The vet was making sure that the "adult" teeth had come in so that she could remove the baby teeth. For a while Gracie had doubles, but they didn't want to remove baby teeth before the permanent ones came in.
Our granddog, a 9 month old shihtzu, is being neutered tomorrow. He is still not a problem (no females in his world), so while I am all about avoiding unwanted litters, it is okay to wait until they are a little more mature--at least in my limited experience. |
