When will these puppy teeth be gone !!! 1 Attachment(s) :idontknow Man, when in the heck will these puppy teeth be gone. They are like sharp needles. :exclaim: We have gone threw so many toys with Mattie. He is chewing threw everything. :yay_jump: :yay_jump: :yay_jump: I keep sewing stuffed things back together. And by the way -- which teeth is it that he will actually lose. Is it just the front ones? shelley |
He "should" loose all of his puppy teeth throughout the entire mouth. If not, those (disiduous) teeth should be removed by the time he's a year of age. |

An inexperienced person will be able to notice the size difference between a baby tooth and an adult tooth only once the first adult tooth has come in. He *should* start loosing his baby teeth now. If you see a double set of teeth, the adult teeth usually are the larger ones that you'll see come in behind the smaller baby teeth that get pushed in front of that adult tooth. Sometimes you get lucky and you'll find a baby tooth lying around, but otherwise, he's likely to just swallow them. Something you can give him are carrots or your apple core (take out the seeds first) and see if any of them get stuck in there. I wouldn't give him ice as that can chip off the enamel of the new teeth. Another suggestion, since he's a chewer is to go to your local pet store and get him a rope toy w/ a knot at each end and let him go to town on it. If he's not terribly interested, you could try rubbing a little bit of bacon grease on it...just enough for an odor and peak his curiousity. But it doesn't sound like he'll object either way, the little chewer! lol |
Glad I read this post. Darla has lost at least a couple. I rolled over in bed one night and felt something poking me in the butt:D Turns out it was one of her teeth! I've also noticed that she has one permanent coming in right beind a baby tooth. Will the new one push it out or will I have to have it pulled? I just figure I'll have the baby ones removed when I have her spayed. |
My Murfee is 3 and still has one of his baby canines. So he has two on one side. My vet wanted almost a thousand dollars to take it out so right now he is living with one extra tooth. I floss it occasionally to try to keep the tartar down. |
patty- that's a really good idea, otherwise it's quite easy to build up just enough tartar and plaque to cause permanent damage to that adult tooth behind it and issues for the gumline. I'd shop around and see if you can't find a vet w/ a more reasonable price that you still trust and have that bad boy removed. ChestersMom- will your pup loose that baby tooth? Most likely. If she's successfully dropped the rest, you might be in luck. How old is she? If she's over 8 to 10 months, or the adult tooth is fully dropped in behind it and it's not even loose, then she just might be wanting to hold onto it. ;) I'd certainly have it removed if it's not out by the time you spay her. Yorkies and most all small breeds are known for not having the best teeth/bone substance and gums in the world, so we've got to do all we can to make sure they keep what little god did give them. Brushing is GREAT, but not always practical to some and so the dog's teeth suffer or they're not big chewers and so on...one ounce of prevention-you know how the saying goes. ;) |
