Stubborn Puppy Teeth?

I had my puppy drop by Vet this morning to have her puppy teeth pull. She is 7 months now, still have 9 puppy teeth. I can see her puppy k9 and adult k9, two set of upper front teeth. Why aren%26#039;t those teeth fall by itself?

Stubborn Puppy Teeth?
Sometimes and many times in small breeds this happens.


If they are not eating a hard chruchy diet or they do not chew sometimes they retain the puppy teeth.


Having your vet pull them is the best and easiest way to get it done and overwith. That way the adult teeth can get into the correct position and it will not do damage to the roots of the adult teeth.
Reply:Sometimes they fall out when they get older around 1 year old and sometimes they don%26#039;t fall out at all. My little dog had to go to the vet too at 7 months old to have his 4 baby canines taken out because they are not coming off and are causing problems to his jaw.
Reply:Did you give her enough teething toys to chew on?





They don%26#039;t just fall out. They have to be worked out same as human baby teeth.
Reply:It%26#039;s pretty common for small dogs. Louie retained his puppy canines too.
Reply:I%26#039;ve been told this happens alot with small breeds. I have a Pom puppy and the vets told me if that happens it%26#039;s best to have the teeth pulled at time of spay/neuter so they only have 1 surgery
Reply:You were at the best place this morning to get your answer...the VETS...why didn%26#039;t you ask them?
Reply:Happens a lot with small breeds, several dachshund I have had needed baby teeth pulled, as did a chi I had years ago.





Give the dog hard chewies, that sometimes helps, but the baby teeth usually come out easily - I have always had it done when they were unconscious at neutering or spaying, that way they don%26#039;t feel it and it isn%26#039;t an extra trip.





When you get your puppy spayed, have the vet check for baby teeth that need to come out.
Reply:Small breeds can get retained baby teeth.


The vet will probably have to pull them out.


They will have to put her under anesthesia and pull her teeth.
