Dental I know I have been missing for a while and I am sorry about that. My son's Motocross life kinda took over for the summer months. My little guy Moto had to have baby teeth removed last month. Our vet had hoped that changing up his chew toy habit would help loosen and pull out the teeth on their own but he had 2 that would not budge. He did fantastic and is now better then ever. Our vet did tell us to keep him away from chew toys for a few weeks and to avoid playing tug of war till all his teeth settled. Now my little guy has all his big boy teeth. |
Oh, boy!! I hope the tooth Fairy brought him some goodies!!!!:) |
Awesome! I'm in the same situation with Rosie, she's like a shark with two rows of teeth :rolleyes: What kind of toys did you change too? |
If you're not already doing so, please make sure to start a regular oral hygiene program at home with your little guy. I've been brushing Vinnie's teeth EVERY NIGHT for the past 7 years and I am so glad I've done so! He has only required two cleanings over the years and neither of them involved the removal of any teeth. He is 8 or 9 now and has perfectly white, healthy teeth. Unfortunately, Yorkies are really prone to bad teeth. Our old yorkie had almost no teeth by the time he was 8 and our friend's yourkie recently had to have most of her teeth removed at the age of 8. This kind of dental work is painful (both for your dog and your wallet). I spend about $10/month on toothbrushes and toothpaste for my two dogs. It takes me a total of about 2 minutes each night to brush their teeth. I spend more time than that on YorkieTalk! |
We switched to rope toys hoping that they would loosen and pull the baby teeth loose. We do brush his teeth altho we don't use toothpaste, I was told that the stuff humans use isn't safe for dogs. We use a colgate battery toothbrush and he does fine with it. I too hope to avoid excessive dental deterioration by doing so. :thumbup: |
