Everything in life has risks but sometimes we have to take them..thats the way of life.Sure we could wait for the baby teeth to eventually rot and fall out or break when the dog is 3 years old,but the down side to that is alot worse than the simple procedure of having them taken out.Retained baby teeth can cause ALOT o problems,a deformed jaw which can be painful,it can also cause over or underbite which isnt pretty..it can also cause the baby teeth to rot and cause an infection that can reach the brain or bloodstream,this of course is fatal.It also causes really bad breath and incomfort for the dog...so is having them pulled worth it? Yes
My yorkie weighed well under 2 lbīs when I had her teeth pulled,I had it done at the same time she was spayed,and Im glad I did it..she was totally fine.Of course there is a risk,but the risk of something happening if you leave the baby teeth in is alot worse to me.
You have a male IluvtinyTim right? Are you not going to have him neutered? Did you know that if you dont he will do what most un-neutered males do..he will start marking his teritory which means he will be peeing up your walls etc..
So you see sometimes we have to take risks for the thier and our own good
