Double teeth? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yes, I agree, the vet is the way to go. My vet saved me all the teeth in a little plastic bag and my boyfriend and I were so amazed at how big the k9 teeth were, they were the size of a human tooth! The vet also had to give her some stiches on her gums. They gave me some pain meds and antibiotics for her and we have a check up next week to make sure everything is healing well. I'm glad it all over and done with now and she can just go back to enjoying being a silly dog.

Roxy had 'shark mouth' too. When she was spayed 2 weeks ago, they had to pull 9 teeth ($45) her spay was $130. Now she is good!
I was worried that the same would happen to TJ, but he is loosing them and hopefully will continue to. He gets neutered on 8/12 and I don't think he will have to have any teeth pulled.

How long should I wait to see if they come out on their own? Or should I wait at all? I just called my vet and they said that I should bring him in for the vet to see him and see if we should do it now. Since we're not neutering him (at least not yet) they said anywhere between 6-9 months. Does that sound about right? And they gave me a price estimate of anywhere between $200 - $400

WOW, that does seem like a lot of money to me (and I live in NY where almost everything is pricey!!) I only paid $50 per dog to have their baby teeth removed.

I am worried about putting them under. My babies are 8 months and 6 months. Lucy weighs 4.5lbs and Charlie weighs 5lbs. I have heard they can die due to anesthesia. Maybe her horrible breath isn't so bad after all. No way will she let me brush her teeth.

Thanks for the info everyone. I've heard from a few people that their breeders have pulled out their dogs teeth or know of someone who has, I just don't like the idea, especially with roots

We'll see what he thinks

Tomorrow morning my little Lee goes in for his extractions. He is only 6 1/2 months old and weighs 3 pounds. I talked with the vets assistant, and she assures me they only use the minimal amount of anesthesia to get them under. She said my vet has never lost a pet due to anesthesia. That's good to hear because he's been in business for a very long time. Maybe around 25 years. It's going to be a stressful day!

I have never heard of this! There must be a reason they put pups under anesthesia to pull teeth. All I can say if you let him do it, pooor Bailey! I know that when Tinkerbell's teeth were falling out in the back, they were very sensitive and she would cry a little if I messed with them. The caps were hanging on causing a terrible smell because of food stuck in them. They really seemed to hurt her when I would try to mess with them. Please try to play games and such that will allow them to loosen on their own. I can only imagine how much Bailey will like your fiance if he pulls his teeth out! I have a feeling yorkies don't easily forget.

My last dog had a couple of teeth removed when she got older and it was only $150.

I don't think it is that hard to pull a dogs tooth, i remember my own being pulled..heheheh But what i would be worried about is...if the tooth is not loose at all, you have to put presure to it will get loose and eventually come off...if the pressure is to much a piece of the tooth can break and you can risk an infection later on. I am not saying this to worry you...it is just something to think about...so if you do decide to do at home, keep an eye in the gums to make sure this didn;t happen. It happened to a friend of mine and her pup's tooth fell by itself, thank god she realized early so no big problems!

Good luck and hopefully Bailey's teeth will fall out by itself
