| Help and Advice Hi, My Angel was acting funny today then I looked at her mouth and there is one teeth falling off. She is 5 months old and I can't find anything about dogs changing teeths. Is it normal? Should I pull it off? Is it ok if she swallows it? Any advice please? Thank you! |

| Yes, it is normal. Their baby teeth are replaced with adult teeth. The ones that don't come out will have to be pulled under anesthesia. It wiill come out on its own since it's loose and yes, they do swallow them quite often. It's something that you won't be able to stop, but by some chance you do have the chance to get it if she spits it out, then I'd do so...

| Yes they loose teeth just like human babies. If loose and just hanging there it's best to go ahead and see if you can pull it with you fingers. |

| Just wanted to let people know, if you have stubborn baby teeth, give your yorkie bully sticks. We had 4 baby teeth scheduled to be pulled during her spay---after about 3 weeks of bully sticks--she lost them all!! I was shocked! |
