I have a 5 year old yorkie who is definitely on the smaller side (about 3 lbs or so). I adopted her when she was about 11 months old, so I am not sure how the teething process went for her when she was younger. Her teeth look very healthy - no gum issues, no tartar build up, etc. However, when I took her to a new vet recently, he told me that she still had a baby tooth in her mouth despite being 5 years old (canine tooth on top row). I had always called it her "snarl tooth" because it was long and skinny and almost curled, catching on her lip and creating this disgruntled look on her face. The vet said it was common in dogs the size of mine, and he said that she'd probably have it for the rest of her life.

This morning, I could hear her stomach growling like crazy. I checked her food bowl and saw she hadn't really eaten any dinner the night before. I fed her breakfast, and she wouldn't even look at it. I grabbed her favorite treats - mini BilJacs - and she seemed super excited about them but kept spitting them out. She finally ate one but ignored the rest. I was worried she had hurt her mouth, so I looked inside and saw the baby tooth was gone.

(1) Is there any chance of an adult tooth growing in or has this ship long since sailed?
(2) Should I trek out to the pet store to get wet food? How long should she be on wet food before I switch her back to dry?
(3) Is there anything else I should be doing for her?
