Puppy teeth?

My toy poodle is 5 months old and her baby teeth are starting to fall out. I%26#039;m worried that she%26#039;ll swallow her teeth. Should I try to pull out her loose tooth, take her to the vet, or just leave it alone? Does anyone know what will happen if she does swallow her tooth?

Puppy teeth?
Just don%26#039;t worry about it. She probably won%26#039;t swallow it..





even if she swallows it she%26#039;ll be fine.


I%26#039;ve swallowed one of mine before.
Reply:Do not pull her loose teeth out. You are more afraid of her swallowing one tiny tooth than pulling one out of her mouth. Leave the puppy%26#039;s teeth alone. I have never ever heard of anything bad happening to a puppy if it did happen. Your concerns should be voiced to your dog%26#039;s vet.
Reply:This is a normal process, they usually fall out on there own without any problems, if she swallows it, its most likely too small to cause any damage. You can always call and ask you vet.
Reply:dont pull the teeth out they will fall out when they are ready.. it doesnt matter if the dog swallows them.. it will pass..i dont think it needs a trip to the vet
Reply:nature has it%26#039;s ways it%26#039;s been happaning for hundreds of years dont wory about it
Reply:Just leave the pup alone. Dogs usually don%26#039;t need any help when they are losing their baby teeth. The exception would be sometimes a baby tooth doesn%26#039;t come out on it%26#039;s own before the adult tooth starts coming in. When this happens the vet will pull the baby tooth. Please don%26#039;t try to pull the baby teeth there is a chance of damaging her gums and causing her more pain. It is a good idea at this age to start brushing her teeth. My vet recommends daily or at least 5 times a week. Small dogs are prone to tooth decay and other teeth related problems as they get older.
Reply:Don%26#039;t pull the teeth, let nature run its coarse, also come to think about it I have not found very many of my dogs teeth, if memory serves me right, maybe I found one lol, my mom ware the wheels off the vacuum cleaner! Or maybe they do swallow them! hrm...
Reply:Don%26#039;t pull her teeth. They should just come out on their own and the timing is about right. If you are going to have the dog spayed, my Vet wouldn%26#039;t do it till she lost her baby teeth. She lost the last one right at 6 months and then I had her spayed.
Reply:If she swallows her teeth, they will just come out in her poop, no need to panic.
Reply:DO NOT PULL -- you could hurt that puppy, and it%26#039;s perfectly normal for them to swallow some of their teeth, so don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:Nooooooooooooo! Noooooooooo! Noooooooooo! Nooooooooooooo!





NO! DO NOT DO THIS. The tooth will pass out the other end. It will not hurt her, give her chew toys and raw bones, (Not cooked) to help with this and teething, also dry kibbles. Can food is bad for dog%26#039;s teeth, Dry kibbles (Preferred dry dog food here) will help with her adult teeth, this helps to make them strong and healthy.





And if you do attempt this feeling the urge regardess of what anyone says, you have a 90% chance of geting bit, and a not so trusting dog!


(Now, put down the plyers, and get away from the dog! Holy shmoolie! When dental students yank! yikes!)
Reply:Dogs eat hard bones and objects that they shouldn%26#039;t eat. I wouldn%26#039;t concern yourself to much about it, but if you notice that she has blood in her stool then that%26#039;s something to be concerned about and thats when you want to call a vet. If perhaps her teeth don%26#039;t fall out and the adult grow in, you can have your vet extract the baby teeth and all should be well. Good luck :)
Reply:some more teething treats are frozen washcloths and frozen plain bagels.
