Is it ok for my 6 mnth pom to be getting is adult teeth with his puppy teeth still in?
my yorkie had the same problem.. she looked like a little shark. we bought alot of rope toys to play tug with and most fell out over a span of a month... however she does have only two that need to be pulled. the vet said its normal in all little dogs.. try whatever you can besides pulling them yourself to get them out... its better for the dog if they come out on their own rather then having to be put to sleep to take them out!
Reply:If the puppy teeth don't come out by the time the adult teeth are nearly grown, a vet will need to remove them..


It is common among Pomeranians.
Reply:You're very attentive to have noticed that; you seem like a good owner.





And, no; it isn't 'ok'. It will probably need to be removed lest there will be crowding - which leads to greater chances of tooth damage and decay.





I have a... humm... 9 month? Pom with the same problem. Need ta get to the vet soon.
Reply:its happens to kids it can happen to animals as well, give him something hard to eat, or take him to the vet to get the baby teeth pulled. it can irritate him.
Reply:It is common in Toy breeds like Poms. I often told my clients to have the teeth pulled when the pup was being spayed/neutered at 6mo.





Sometimes the teeth will fall out, but if they don't the adult teeth could end up out of place.





The vet can check and see if there is any wiggle in the puppy teeth.
Reply:wiggle the baby teeth to help them fall out... this is common in small dogs.
Reply:You really should see your vet and get this all sorted out. Unfortunately this is really common for most toy breeds.
Reply:Retained Deciduous (baby teeth) is common in several of the smaller breeds,, although not a major problem..they do need to be removed ASAP because they can cause problems as the adult teeth come into wear,, the adult teeth may not come in properly, or can push the other teeth out of alignment, and be a source of trapped food, and future dental decay..


Generally removal at the time of spay/neuter surgery is recommended, that way the dog only receives only one anesthetic.. if you do not plan on having your dog altered,, you still need to plan on having the baby teeth removed soon,, ideally in the next few months,, regardless,,having retained teeth or adult teeth ruined because the baby teeth did not fall out at the proper time,, makes the dog not show quality,, or show able,, but it is OK to have the BABY teeth removed to prevent this problem.


Normally all the baby teeth should be gone at 6 months..


so it does need to be addressed sometime,, it is not actually normal,, (but is common issue in small breeds) and should be corrected for your dogs future dental health.. Good luck
