| YORKIE BABY TEETH..HELP Need Advice Hi there, I have a small 10 month old male yorkiebaby. He is 4lbs, and the vet suggested that his baby teeth be taken out as some of them have not come out yet. I noticed today that one of his baby teeth on the side where they have those two big teeth on the bottom, i am not sure what they are called.sorry. He use to have 2 of these teeth on both sides of his little mouth Side By Side. But 1 came out today. the spot looks bloody ( How long does it take for all the baby teeth to come out, and when should I let the vet put him under and pull them? I do not want to jump the gun herre and get them pulled if they will come out on their own. Can anyone please tell me how long should I wait before putting my baby through this surgery. Thanks Katharine

| Is your baby already neutered or going to be neutered? Both of mine retained some baby teeth, so when they had their spay/neuters I just had them do it then for the reason I didn't want them to have to under twice.... If there is not a neuter in his future, then you should have the proceudre done. If they don't lose the baby teeth, it can cause problems for their permanents later....as well as promote tooth decay. There are many health problems related to poor dental hygeine... I wouldn't wait much longer...... |

| When Ruby got spayed and was already under they took out some of the baby teeth that had not yet come out.
