My puppy is loosing all her baby teeth....?
When our Shiba was teething we found a cloth bone at the petstore called a Chill Bone. You soak it with water and freeze it then give it to the dog. She loved it because it helped to numb her gums. She also loved to chew on ice cubes (still does). We are using the Chill bones for our Rottweiler puppy too. We have two now, so one can be freezing while he is chewing on the other.
Reply:I would suggest that you call your vet and ask if there is anything that you can do to help keep her comfortable.





Good luck and I hope I helped you!
Reply:I would not ask this on here I would go to a doctor immeadeatly cause people be saying things just to be saying things on here. Please go to the vet. That is the best thing for your puppy right now. YOu are a great pet taker cause you are very concered about your puppy. Good luck and I hope yor puppy gets better. Also aChill Bone might help. You soak it with water and freeze it then give it to the dog. It helps numb the gums.
Reply:My Pup lost his teeth around 6 months as well, although his gums weren't bleeding a lot. I would call your vet and ask his or her advice.
Reply:Ice, or you can buy a small kong toy and freeze chicken broth inside and give it to her, but beware it's messy when it melts so give it in an area that you can clean easily.
Reply:This is pretty normal and the new teeth should fill in the gaps pretty soon. You can give her an old sock that is tied in knots, and then soaked in water and frozen to chew on. That helps with the pain and feels good in their mouths. Be sure to supervise your puppy with things like this, however.
Reply:Ice works, anything you put in her mouth will just get washed away by saliva.


Try wetting on of her toys and putting it in the freezer. It will numb her gums and help her feel better.


The bleeding will stop a few days after the tooth falls out. I have a 5 month old lab right now and he is loosing all his teeth.


Also, don't worry if the tooth breaks funny in his mouth. As long as the rest is pushed out by the time the big tooth completely grows in you have no worries.
Reply:I wouldn't really worry too much about it. She probably lost the tooth/teeth on a hard toy, or before the roots were fully dissolved. A dog's mouth/gums heal VERY quickly. We had a rather large growth taken off of our dog's gums, and the vet didn't even put stitches in because he said the gums would heal so quickly. I would just avoid toys that are too hard until she starts getting her big dog teeth in.
