Crowded teeth - YorkieTalk.com Forums

So Parker has been teething, he will be getting neutered soon we were waiting on his teeth to finish up coming out and for him to gain some weight. Well the past few days I noticed Parker almost like chewing on the air. I got panicked and thought he was choking and kept a close eye on him and to make sure that wasn't so(he wasn't). Anyways, yawing and chewing the air I can hear what sounds to be teeth rubbing. I keep checking his mouth and I think his molars are coming in the back and its crowded but I am not sure. Has anyone experienced this? He is eating fine and playing like normal so I am not sure what is going on. Looking on some opinions, and yes I will be taking him to the vet to get this looked at but before I do that I wanted to hear from my YT'rs! Thanks so much!!!

Those are called decidous teeth. Show the vet them when you take him to be neutered. They will pull them then while he is under.

Aww my poor baby.

Is it hurting him? Should I just get him neutered ASAP because of his teeth? I don't want him to be in any pain!!! Now I feel horrible...its only been a few days but poor pumpkin..Is this normal?

Lots of yorkies encounter this. Not sure necessarily if it hurts them but it might feel a bit crowded. Yorkies can drop baby teeth up until a year or a bit over. If he is at the right age for his neuter then go for it.

The worst thing about the doubles is that they tend to catch food in between and makes their mouths stink worse.

AH, that explain the STINKY breath thats just started the past week or so!! Okay well thank you SO much

, he is just about at the age he can get neutered. I just wonder that his teeth are falling out left and right if I should at least wait a few more weeks to make sure they all come in. I would hate to get those pulled and have more come in. But on the other hand I don't want him to be in any discomfort...what to do what to do??

I would get them pulled while he is under. The vet will only pull the doubles. The other babies will be there until they drop on their own. The vet tends to leave them to keep the spacing correct.

I agree with Bizzymammabee...have Parker's teeth pulled while under for neutering that way he's only under once and it will be easier on your pocket book.

Izzy went through the same thing and she is fine. Parker is so cute!

I have the same thing with my Pixie, she's 8 months and about the 3lb mark, I'm holding out till she's about a year cos i'm scared sh**less about taking her in! I want her spayed too, so i suppose the sensible thing is to get them to remove the baby teeth at the same time, Pixie has double rows of teeth in her tiny mouth, luckily they dont seem to be bothering her too much at the moment and she has a very good apetite, but her breath is a lil smelly though!

If you do it at the time of spay/neuter most vets won't charge you for the removal.

I had lulu spayed when she was 7 months and almost 3 lbs. She was a champ. So no worries there. Just have the pre-op blood testing done.

Aww I missed this!! We send Zoey bear tons of licks too!! I still haven't taken him yet, he is so widdle and I just would love for him to make the 3lb mark! The grinding has kind of stopped but I see his canines coming in and all that. So I figure a few more weeks then he should be about ready to go!
