Greetings to all on the YT... My little Meka is approaching 6 mo, and shes growing and changing everyday. The newest change was over the weekend. On Saturday I noticed that her lower K9 teeth were loose

I dont know why I was so surprised and in a state of panic

But, my husband calmed me down enough to explain that pups like real children loose teeth too..... Duh, didnt know that. Never the less, I guess my concern came from whether or not to pull it out or let it fall out on its own. I was more or less concerned with her swallowing it.

Does all that matter? Should you pull it out when loose? Curious on what some of you have done/do?

play tug of war with her or just wiggle it everyday eventually it will fall out. But you should looked for adult teeth growing behind baby teeth.

Let it fall out on it's own. It will come out when it is ready.

I gave Scooter a baby carrot weekend before last, and he lost all of his baby teeth on the bottom...has his bottom canines, not sure if they're baby or adult. Anyway, right now he looks like he needs dentures, and he can't keep his little tongue in his mouth because there are no teeth to hold it in. Poor baby.
