Retained canines My Ruger is 5 months. I noticed his bottom canines are coming in behind baby ones. I plan on nurturing him the 1st of August. Is this too long to wait? So far his other teeth have came in great. Thanks |
Get them both done at the same time. No reason to put him under twice. |
I would go ahead and have both done pretty soon. Retained baby teeth can mess up the alignment of the teeth if left to long. |

I waited until 7-8 months for the spay to give the retained canines (upper and lower) time to fall out on their own. The lower ones eventually did. She has a longer jaw, and the upper ones weren't even crowded and weren't budging, so I figured they weren't going to come out naturally and went ahead with the spay then. I think you are OK to wait a bit more. |

I had to wait until Bonnie was 8 months because the when I took her in at 7 months, she had an elevated ALT level. When I brought her back, she was fine. She had 4 baby teeth removed at the same time. Two of them were canines. The vet said it was possible that she might go into heat during the wait but because of her blood work, it was much better to wait and take the chance. |
Hey my little Ruger is a boy. No chance he will go into heat befor nurturing Ha! He's 5 months, would August be too long to get those baby cainins out. I sure don't want to mess up his adult teeth. |

I would think August is fine. I waited until 6 months with my male and 8 months with my female and they are both happy, healthy, well adjusted pups. You never know, some of those teeth might fall out before the dental. |
