retained baby teeth Well my Khloe turned 1 in December and those baby teeth on the bottom never came out. She is having them extracted on March 8th next Friday. I am nervous about my baby. I was scared when she got spayed but she was a little trooper. Can anyone tell me what to expect after her baby teeth are pulled? She eats dry kibble . Will I need to buy her a few cans of dog food instead of giving her the dry kibble? The vet said she will need to remain at his office until the end of the day because of the anesthesia. Will she have much pain? |
I haven't had to deal with that particular issue with Princess Sophie however we also have a mini Schnauzer who has had to have teeth removed. Both our Schnauzers did just fine, came through their dentals and we didn't have to change their food (they always ate dry food). Now I know that yorkie pups are different and I have heard on this site that anytime a yorkie goes under anesthesia it's tricky. Even so, I'm sure there will be others that have gone through this experience with their yorkies that can offer you good advice. Good luck with your dental and I will be praying for a speedy recovery. |
Max had 5 baby teeth pulled when he was neutered and did not have any problem chowing down his kibble when he came home that night. It's individual to the dog. If you see your baby having trouble with the kibble, you can moisten it with water. I would be more comfortable doing that than changing to canned food. I think most vets advise to feed a light dinner after a day of having anesthesia. Max is always starving after he has been under and does okay with his full meal. Sending best wishes for your baby for an easy procedure and speedy recovery. |
Thanks for your response. I am hoping all goes well. My bichon had this problem but she finally left go of her baby tooth. Khloe's teeth are as stubborn as she is! |
