Puppy tooth trouble?

My 5 month puppy had a second tooth right next to her new adult tooth (I guess). This week the tooth has moved way up into her gum...looking kinda like a unicorn. Will the tooth come out? It doesn't feel loose. Thanks!

Puppy tooth trouble?
If it is not loose it sounds like retained teeth. it is more common in toy breeds. (not sure what you have). You do need to take a trip to the Vet if it does not fall out. retained teeth can force the adult teeth out of line which can cause malocclusion and gum injury.

Reply:My puppy's had this going on now for a few weeks. It looks like 2 sets of teeth which it is. After a few days his baby teeth got loose and would fall out. I don't know about yours . Keep an eye on them and check for listlessness, fever, swelling in the area and the dog not eating and generally feeling crappy. It might get infected but maybe it's just normal for your dog.
