| he adult teeth are growing in. her baby teeth should fall out but if they don't the vet will have to pull them out. i'm not sure but if a lot of the adult teeth are coming in and the baby teeth aren't falling out you may need to get the vet to check her out. they can start falling out as early as 5mths. nala still has all her baby teeth and she is at 6mths. |

| It is common in yorkies for the baby teeth to need extraction. It is usually done in conjunction with neutering and spaying at 6 months of age or so. My vet seemed to think the sooner the better for the health of the teeth. Yorkies are also known to have problem teeth and periodontal disease which can lead to problems in their later years. |

| Same thing going on here...Max has now lost most of the baby teeth (he just turned 6 months last week), so he looks hilarious (the 4 chompers are HUGE, and all the ones in the front are teeny)...he's my little vampire boy. I'm calling around to different vets today to research what type of anesthesia they use for small dogs, so I can get Max's appt rescheduled & hopefully the serial-humping will stop! LOL Anyway, I'll have the remaining ones taken out at that time.
