My Yorkie Has No Teeth :2omg: I am writing this in dispair, because 2 weeks ago, my Zoe had all her teeth taken out. About a year & a half ago, I had 6 teeth removed & then the rest were taken out 2 weeks ago, when I brought her in for a cleaning. I thought she may need a few more out, but I was shocked when they called to say that all should be taken out. She was a real trooper after having them all out. She slept well, took her meds (liquid drops) & was back to playing with in 2 days. The problem now is.....her tongue is hanging out on the right side of her mouth...all the time & she wont use the other side of her mouth. I tried to get her to put her tongue on the other side with a treat & she wont. I have looked inside & all looks normal. The same as the other side.....So does anyone have experience with this?? Will she look like this forever? I have an appointment with my Vet on Wednesday....but I thought this forum would be the place to get some straight answers. Looking forward to your responces .....I think??! :icon5: :aimeeyork:animal-pa One upset Yorkie Mom |
I don't know how old your dog is, but the dog that I had that had her last teeth finally pulled was 16. Her tongue fell to one side and unfortunately stayed that way, but we had her since she was 8 weeks and thought she was precious that way too. Since you are concerned I am glad that you are taking Zoe to the vet. I too get worried if anything happens at all with my little ones. I pray that all is well with Zoe. |
The teeth hold the tongue in so I would think it would have to hang out if there are no teeth. Not sure why she wouldn't use the other side though? |
thanks for the feedback thanks for the feedback everyone! Zoe is only 4 1/2 yrs old. And teeth or no teeth shes still a cutie patootie!!!:D I just worry about the implications down the road. So I guess on Wednesday I will find out something:confused::tonglash::tonglash: |
,my cassie had her teeth pulled 4 years ago yes there little tounges hang out ,they look funny , |
I totally understand. Let us know what the vet says. |
I'm not understanding why a dog so young would have to have all their teeth pulled. I guess I was lucky my Newman passed away at age 10 years old and only lost one tooth and that was due to breaking it on a bone. We did have his teeth cleaned yearly though. Now, I also have a five year old Yorkie who I've had since 5 weeks and she has had no issues with her teeth. We also have her teeth cleaned yearly. I think that especially with small dogs this is very important to do to prevent things like this happening. I have a total of six Yorkies, five of which are at least three years old and NONE have had issues with their teeth. I hope your baby is alright. Elaine |
I'm sorry your baby went through this at only 4yrs old. I read, before getting Buddy, that Yorkie's loose their teeth at a very young age if not properly taken care of. It's hard to believe but it's true. The teeth hold the tongue in place therefore without teeth the tongue will come forward and stick out. Hope your baby is feelings ok today. That's a shame. |
Lacey will be 2 in February. I have asked her vet about cleaning her teeth and he said they look great and there is no need. After reading your posts the you are having them cleaned yearly, I wonder if I should check with another vet. I am willing to do whatever it takes to retain her teeth. This is my first Yorkie, so could could someone please give me their suggestions? Thanks! |
if you feed raw, there is no need for teeth cleaning and teeth brushing. the diet seems to do very well with their teeth and they come back from vet appt. with no tarter or problems. someone mentioned that if they never use anything to strengthen their teeth, they may become weak and fall out, so we use bully sticks for teeth and chewing strength, but the raw keeps the tarter and build up off. i hope Sadie keeps her teeth for many long years due to a good diet. anyone that is interested in a home made raw recipe diet just PM me. we truly believe it benefits their body, teeth, skin/coat, digestive system and overall health. |

from first hand experience, my aunt's dog has been on a home made raw diet for two years and has never had her teeth brushed and has never had any sort of dental cleaning and at her last vet appt. was told there was no tarter whatsoever. so while not all raw diets give you these results, this one for the past two years at least DOES. and this raw diet does contain more than just raw meat, it also has partially cooked egg, spinach, cooked rice, cottage cheese, sometimes liver, safflower oils, ground beef and turkey (raw) supplements and you give a multivitamin and fish oil daily or every other day. it's a great diet. we swear by it, no bad breath, clean teeth, healthy coat and skin, poop once or twice daily and have very healthy digestive systems. not everyone including some vets will agree with raw diets, but this particular recipe has worked well for us and has given our dogs healthy teeth without dental cleanings and bushings |
