| Joey was 3.5 lbs when he had all four of his "fangs" pulled. I was scared too, but he did just fine.

| It is very frightening for us, but little Brodie will be fine! Toto was 8 months because we had to wait for her to weigh 2 lbs., our vet wanted to be sure all the permanent teeth were through because she had lots of baby teeth to remove and she wanted to do teeth/spay at the same time. We totally trusted her and that's a big help too. Toto did great but I was traumatized for several days!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali retained almost all of her baby teeth. At 14 months the vet was able to pull 4 while she was awake as they were so loose and 1 front one pulled out when we were playing at 16 months of age and one I wiggled out last week at 19 months. All of her fang are still in and some back molars but like you I am just too afraid even though I know it needs to be done.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i assure you there is nothing to worry about as long as you've discussed it with your vet and you trust them to do surgery on a small dog. When morgan was fixed she had 6 teeth pulled front and back with no problem at all. If its just a teeth pulling they really don't even have to induce them with anesthesia. The vet can just gas them down, pull the teeth, and then wake them up. Simple and finished in 10-15 minutes total. Try not to worry so much. some things just need to be done, its better if you do it on your terms now then on the angry infected tooth's terms later LOL

| Both of mine had to have 4 removed. They did fine and I am sure your Brodie will too. Chachis breath also smelled when he had the retained teeth

| Believe me, I KNOW where you are coming from. My 3 1/3 lb. Peppy retained most of his baby teeth. He had 14 pulled at one time. Even though I have 100% confidence in Dr. Amy, I was a nervous wreck! |

| Sometimes you just have to put your trust in your vet - I'm sure your baby will be just fine! I was a total boob when Oscar and Ruthie went in for their spay/neuters, but they came through just fine. Oscar weighed 2.8lbs for his neuter and had 14 teeth pulled - Ruthie weighed 2lbs and had 12 teeth pulled. I'm sure he'll feel much better having those extra teeth removed!

| Has Brodie been neutered yet? This would be a good time to get this all done. My Carson had 3 teeth pulled and was neutered at almost a year old and he was 4.1 he did fine but I still was a nervous wreck. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Thanks everyone As far as neutering....no, I use him for stud as I've just started my breeding program last year. I trust my vet. But you know how it is.......................he's my baby boy!!! |

| Breny you know how I worry. When Daisy was spayed at 6 months she was like 3#'s I think and she did no problem at all. My mom took me to pick her up because I was crying and Daisy was back to herself the next day. Brodie will be fine. I did it on a Thursday so I can stay home with her for the weekend. Did the vet say its his teeth making his breath so horrible?

| fear of having these little ones anesthesized Hi everyone. All I can is that fear was with me the first time I had my tiny 3 lb. female spayed. Teeth cleaned at the same time. My heart was in my throat, and the vet did a wonderful job sitting down and explaining about the new anesthestics and how very safe it is on these tiny ones...I was totally amazed when I picked her up...not groggy at all. That fear is in all of us with these tiny babies. sadielyn |

| Cricket goes in tomorrow to have her top puppy canines removed. She's a little over 3.5 lbs. It's a bit scary but I need to get them out before they mess up her bite as I want to show her come spring. These little ones usually retain their canines so I'd guess the vet is used to pulling them by now. I'll be praying for her anyway!
