Here's my delima....when I get Hootie fixed, I also want to get her retained baby teeth pulled. I don't want to have to put her down twice like I had to do for Hobbs. My vet said that I could go ahead and get her fixed whenever I wanted to and she would just pull all her baby teeth even if she didn't have an adult tooth in yet. That way, I wouldn't have to put her down twice and I also wouldn't be risking her going into heat before I get her fixed. Hootie will be 6 months old on November 2. Should I go ahead and get her fixed and go ahead and let the vet pull all her baby teeth even if she doesn't have an adult tooth in yet? Or, should I wait until she is done teething? I know yorkies are generally done teething around 7 months of age, but I am afraid of waiting too long because I don't want her to go into heat before I get her fixed. A whole lot of her baby teeth have been falling out lately, so I don't think that she'll retain that many. But if the vet pulls all her baby teeth, will the vet be able to tell the difference between a baby tooth and an adult tooth? Even her adult teeth that have come in are SO incredibly tiny! What should I do???
