Remind me please... Can someone please remind me whether yorkie puppy small teeth at the front fall out to be replaced by adult ones or not....I really can't remember from my first yorkie all those years ago. I noticed today that one of his small teeth at the botton front has fallen out and I wasn't sure if he's lost it for good or if an adult one will grow in it's place...thanks for your help :) |
Yes, yorkies will lose all their baby teeth and they will be replaced by adult teeth. So no need to worry! That space will be filled with an adult tooth in no time! :D |
Thanks for the reassurance...was a bit worried as I couldn't remember....it's really strange how you forget the puppy days lol...:) |
Can Someone Tell Me When They Start To Loose Their Teeth And If The Biting Quits A Bit After That.....thanks. |
Well mine is just over four months and one tooth came out yesterday...not sure if this is normal or if he had played and just knocked it out...:) |
I think they start to lose them around 4mths of age - and usually should have lost them all by the age of 6 or 7mths. Some puppies will retain their puppy teeth and they will need to be pulled to prevent problems down the road. Oscar ended up with two rows of teeth (looked like a shark) and when he went in for his neuter they removed FOURTEEN teeth! Encourage your puppy to chew chew chew and play games of tug with them to encourage those puppy teeth to fall out on their own so you dont have to spend a fortune having them removed! As far as biting - that is all part in parcel of how you train him. Teach him early on not to bite. Some people on here have tried yelping when the dog bit them too hard and after a few times, the dog stopped. It makes sense, since that's how dogs let each other know that something hurts right? You could give that a try. If he doesn't quit... well, at least the adult teeth are much duller than their puppy teeth so it won't hurt as much! ;) |
