Actually its VERY common for toy breeds to have baby teeth pulled.Lady had hers pulled when she was 6 months old,she had 8 baby teeth removed.My vet said that this is perfectly normal and extremly common.Its also best because not having them removed can cause malformation in the jaw or even infection which in some cases can be fatal.If the jaw becomes infected it can reach the brain.
My youngest yokrie Jess has been lucky,all of her baby teeth have fallen out on their own.We played tug of war with her ALOT,our vet told us to do this as it helps loosen the teeth He also recomended us to play tug of war with an old sock,because they can get a better grip of this and it reaches all of the teeth.We actually had an apointment for december to have her teeth removed,but cancelled it last week
