Daisy is losing all of her teeth..... The last time I took Daisy to the Vet, he told me she was a little behind seeing as she did not start to lose any of her teeth. But now almost a month later, she hardly has any front teeth. So here's my question,...will her back teeth also fall out? Daisy is my first Yorkie so Im not sure what to expect. I know Yorkie's tend to have teeth problems, so im hoping someone can help me out so I know weather or not I'll need to take her to get some of them pulled. I know the vet will do it once I get her fixed, but I don’t know if Im going to get her fixed yet. Im really nervous about it. Okay, Ill finish this up. I seem to be rambling on and on. Im sorry!! |
You are talking about baby teeth? How old is she? |
I remember those worries! :) Applaud for every one of those little teeth that come out on their own. ;) Everything going on with her is VERY normal. I would also like to really encourage you to have her spayed. It makes life so much safer and happier for them in the long run. I have to schedule my little Kandi for the same thing soon...spay and tooth removal, and I know how scary it can be. I also know that Gizmo did MUCH better than I did when he was neutered and had teeth removed. He was a little champ. Me? A nervous wreck! LOL! |
Daisy is 5 months as of March 1st. |
Exactly how expensive is it to have her teeth taken care of? You know so Im not quite as surprised once the vet hands me the bill. LOL Im expecting it to be at least 500. |
It really depends upon where you live. I have seen a whole range of prices. I can't tell you about teeth removal alone because Gizmo was a combo package. I would suggest calling your vet and getting an estimate. They should have no problem doing that. |
I know I will be the exact same way once I take Daisy to get it done. Right now I don’t want to spay her, but in the end I will. I already had this talk with my vet and he let me know Im not the only person who gets worried about having their Yorkie spayed. But unless I plan on showing her or mating her I should really get it done. I thought about mating her for maybe a second and decided against it. It is way too dangerous for someone who is a first time Yorkie owner. (IMO) But thank you very much for the help! |
Hi when I got SophieKate spayed in December they removed two of her Canine Teeth also (uppers), all the others had fallen out. The Vet gave me the teeth they removed, I was shocked those teeth are HUGE. I remember when she was losing her teeth she looked so funny. At one point she no front teeth but the adult teeth quickly came through. It was easy to spot with SophieKate lost a tooth because she would come up to me spit the tooth on me (I saved a few of them). On the cost for spaying and teeth removal - like the previous poster suggested ask for an estimate. SophieKates cost $350.00, they used a laser for her Spay and she had no external stitches - it looked like they used the liquid band aid on her instead. Overall the spay and tooth removal went well for her, I was another story - I worried and paced for an entire day. |
Out of curiosity... when should a puppies teeth begin to fall out on it's own? |
Daisy just started to lose her teeth about a week ago, she was 5 months on the first. But like I said before, my vet said she was behind schedule. |
If I remember correctly SophieKate was just around 4 months when she started losing hers. It took awhile for her to lose them. |
Daisy is losing all her teeth My five month old Yorkie did not have her front lower teeth in when I rescued her from a pet shop. (She didn't even know she could run.) When she was eight months old the vet said her canines in the corner needed to be pulled because they second ones couldn't come in. I just wiggled them a little for a few days, and they came out by themselves. No big problem and no hole, so they must have had short roots. I will not spay her because she was the runt of the litter and has not come in her first heat at 10 months. Anytime I get a dog neutered, they usually get fat. Since she is inside and no male can get to her I will wait it out and see if her heats are a big problem. Nature shouldn't be tampered with in my opinion unless necessary. BTW you all have such beautiful pictures next to your postings, and the animated blinkies are so cool. How can I learn to do that?:) (Just discovered the side stickers I can paste. Cool. ) I am just an old lady trying to learn new tricks.:rolleyes: |
I would probably bring her to be spayed around 6-7 months before she goes into her first heat. At that time, any baby teeth that are retained can be removed at the same time. That way you only put her under anesthesia once. I brought Cassi in to be spayed when she was 6.5 months old and also had 7 baby teeth removed. Now she's almost 14 months old and retained her baby top canine. I guess I could've waited another few weeks, when her adult canine was coming in, b/c now I have to bring her back in to the vet to have the top baby canine teeth removed. |
