| Teething Questions & a clueless 1st mommy! Okay seeing as this is my first yorkie I have a question about teething. I just found one of Murphy's baby teeth last night. We were playing and all of a sudden he stopped and started acting weird. I looked and found one of his teeth on the floor. Ever since than he has been acting weird. He is chewing at nothing. I think he is teething obviously and he is just chewing or something to work on his gums. Does any one have any input on this or has anyone seen their Yorkies just running around the house chewing at nothing all day? Is this normal or should i give him anything? I think he feels okay since he is acting normal but do they experience pain with this or should i be giving him something to ease the teething if that is what he has going on? Thanks for helping this clueless first mommy! :-)

| I do believe that they feel discomfort. I always find something that they can teeth on such as a teething bone or treat. Also, I give them crushed ice, they love it and it seems to really help them. I have a snow cone maker so I put ice in there and it crushes it real fine so I don't have to worry about them choking on a piece. They also have many teethers at petstores that you can even freeze and then give it to them, and they help as well.

| I had a puppy Kong that I put in the freezer for a few minutes to get it really cold & gave that to her.
