| Not losing baby teeth??? My little Martini is 6 mos. old now and is teething. She has not only the baby teeth but the permanent teeth coming in right beside them. When I look in her mouth and feel to see if the baby teeth are loose, it doesn't feel like they are. Her back molars are also coming in and the gums are so swollen. I feel so badly for her. It has got to hurt! I give her chewies and I have one I put in the fridge so it is cold for her to chew. I called the vet yesterday and he said it is not uncommon for this to happen to these little ones. He wants to take a look. He possibly may have to extract the baby ones to make room for the permanent ones. Also, he asked if she was spayed yet and she is not. He said he could do them both at the same time. Talk about insult to injury... Anybody else out there with the same experience? |

| It is common. Both of mine had to have 4 pulled when they were spayed/neutered. I also got them microchiped at the same time

| I would try to wait as long as possible but it is best to do them both at the same time. It's better not to have them put under more often than necessary. I waited til Feather had her first heat and had gained enough weigh to have her done. She was 11 mo. and still had 9 teeth to be pulled |

| not losing baby teeth Yes, I am going to wait at least a couple more mos. to see if any of them fall out on their own. Thanks for getting back to me so soon. |

| Adorable! Have any teeth come out? Buster was neutered at 6 months, and still had to have 11 teeth pulled. |

| Missy just went through this yesterday. She got spayed and had to have her 4 canines pulled. Her adult teeth are coming in too close to the center of her mouth since those baby teeth were in the way. They are concerned about it, and she will have to be rechecked to be sure that her teeth are moving back to where they should be. I think the sooner you get it taken care of, the better.
