I am asking what is probably a stupid question but i will ask it any way...is it normal for a 5 month old puppy to lose all of his puppy teeth on say the bottom row (minus the canine teeth) and have none showing growing in? none of my others did this...they would lose 1 or 2 at a time and the others would always be pushing right through. Indiana has lost almost all the lower front teeth (well all of them except the long ones). and none are apparently showing that they are growing in at this time. he acts like he has some trouble eating too. the top ones are starting to come out too. as i said i have never experienced this so i welcome any opinions...lol. they are all coming out suddenly and at the same time.

Yes it can be very common for them to lose the whole row all at once. In fact they can lose the whole bottom and upper row at the same time. Be glad they get the teething done much quicker this way.

Remi lost all of her front teeth at the same time. It made her tongue stick out!

Hopefully you'll see the teeth start coming in - I had one who had no problems with retained teeth - my other needed to get 4 pulled - I'd rather have them fall out on their own and try soft food for a while if he has trouble or a smaller kibble
