My vet didn't give me Bubba or Sissy's teeth but I do have all three of my childrens' teeth.

Maybe he gave them back to you to put under her pillow, so the Yorkie Fairy would leave her some treats!

So glad someone else looks at the teeth...I don't look at them much anymore, however, right after the spay/tooth extraction, I looked at those durn teeth (only 2), alot! I'm glad I'm over that...BUT, if I have to pull out (no pun intended lol) Apple's health records, I will have a gander...I don't even believe myself sometimes lol...

Zhoie had 13 done with her spay & umb. hernia, and I didn't get the teeth back. My guess is, he was too busy working on the little butsy to even think about it.

I got lucky...Apple only had two retained teeth, at spay, but she wasn't spayed 'till a year old...Cha Cha only had one, and she was about a year and a half old (not sure, she's a rescue), but my Buzzy boy shed all his! So I only have three teeth to look at lol...I can see why you'd be considering a necklace! Kinda like those puka shell necklaces, for those that are old enough to remember puka shells

My vet gave me the baby teeth he pulled for Chachi and Jewels

Yes, Zhoie had 13. Then when she went for a dental cleaning at 1yr, he found 2 that came late...so she a a total of 15. It blew my mind, to think her tiny, and I mean tiny, little mouth had that many.

Vet actually wanted to wait for her spay until 7-8 mos, but at 6.5, when we saw all those teeth, he said, oh no, that has to be causing her pain, gotta come out.

We went ahead with all 3 procedures and she did really well.

So, glad little Brielle is doing fine. She's sure is a gorgeous little girlie!

Sammy Mommy · 01-22-2011, 07:28 PM

The vet gave me Sammy's teeth too after extractions. She also gave me a piece of something that was removed during his stomach surgery. It looked like a piece of plastic, like the wheel of a toy car. Every toy car went into the garbage after that!! The kids weren't too happy but I didn't care.
I still have my kids' baby teeth and they are 23 and almost 19.
When I graduated from dental assistant school, my Dad had a jeweler put one of my baby teeth on a charm for me to wear.

Hmmm...I hope it's not weird as I saved my pup's baby teeth when they fell out. I saved my childrens' baby teeth too.
Our pups do NOT like the floor to be wiped, so if we have a dry rag and are wiping the hard wood floors they come running up and attack the rag, thus their loose baby teeth would come out.
Vet told me tug of war was the best tooth extractor (for our one pup who was slow to lose her teeth)
