New puppy!?

i just got a 5 month old puppy......... and she is starting to loose teeth, is that normal???

New puppy!?
Puppies have 28 deciduous , or baby teeth, and loose them all, just as children do. . I managed to find have four of my pup's baby teeth. Most of them get swallowed , and is perfectly normal. The dog won't be hurt by swallowing any of them.





Adult dogs have 42





they are called 'empuppy teeth. Very normal; those sharp little needles fall out and their adult teeth grow in, just like with human kids.


Does not appear to hurt. I used to find them all over the house when Katie (my Border Collie x) was teething. A piece of rawhide netted us three teeth in one day. I seemed to always find them with the vacuum as well; instead of sucking them up it would shoot them at my shins.


She may appreciate some good chew toys, nylabones, hard rubber kongs, to help work the teeth out. The new adult teeth are pushing up from underneath and should appear shortly.


DO NOT switch to moist or soft food; that's really bad for their teeth. A quality dry kibble like canidae is best for her.





Hope i helped, Tasha J =)
Reply:very normal
Reply:yes, most lose them between 4 and 6 months. Some will have a double canine (smaller breeds) until about a year old, if that happens daily flossing is a must and they will come out, or sometimes, surgery to remove them, (personally against that, but some people do it)





NO tug of war games, especially right now....
Reply:yes it is it will grow back a new one.Good luck
Reply:yes, they lose them just like we do..
Reply:Its first teeth, the puppy or milk teeth, erupt through the gums during the third to sixth week of its life. Puppy teeth are mostly incisors and canines. By the third month, the first of the permanent teeth work through, and by the seventh month they all do.
Reply:Yep, very normal. They are very close to humans, they lose teeth and then grow them back. They will also teethe like babies. Provide your puppy with a soft toy to soothe they're teeth.
Reply:Of course it's normal.
Reply:Yes. It's like a human loosing thier tooth. But puppy-proof the house because she'll start teething soon as the new teeth grow in.
Reply:Your puppy is losing its baby teeth. The adult teeth will grow in shortly. If all the baby teeth aren't out by the time it's is spayed/neutered you can have the vet do it at that time if the vet thinks it's necessary.
Reply:yea its normal nothing to worry about
Reply:Yes pups lose their teeth just like children do. Always have a new pup checked by a vet just to make sure everything is ok and to get its vaccinations.
Reply:no you should switch her food over to younger cats. the older cats you are feeding her now maybe a little touch for her to chew.
Reply:Very normal those teeth will grow back around when she reaches maturity
Reply:I think its normal maybe there baby teeth.


Or just take the little guy to the vet.
Reply:yes its perfectly normal they lose their teeth just like we do!


they will grow back.


good luck!
