My dog had lost 2 teeth and he's only 5 months old. Is this normal?

One of his teeth fell out last week, and I checked and it looked like he had a new one coming. But after 3 days, my dog was playing with his stuffie and I noticed that his stuffie was covered with blood. A few minutes after, his other tooth fell out. Is this normal for a five month old puppy? He's a very healthy border collie mix thats wny I don't know if it's a normal thing to lose his baby teeth so early and almost at the same time.

Your dog is teething. This occurs in all dogs, usually between 3 and 7 months old. It's absolutely normal.





You can help him by providing him with plenty to chew on (like his stuffie) -- also, things like refrigerated carrots are nice for teething puppies because they can sink their teeth into them up to the gumline, which helps soothe their mouths (like a teething ring for a baby). I've also taken an old washcloth or sock and soaked it in water, then stuck it in the freezer for awhile. They love chewing on anything cool.
Reply:My dog lost 5 teeth in the same day when she was 3 months old and the vet said it was normal. About all the that you might want to tell your vet. Just to be on the safe side.
Reply::) Yes. He is losing his baby teeth and his permenate ones will come in soon. Try soaking a rag and freezing it. He can chew on it (with supervision of course) to help with the pain. :) Save the teeth for a memory book.
Reply:OF COURSE!!!How do you think they get ADULT dentition???
Reply:Yes, absolutely normal - your puppy is losing his baby teeth. His gums will be sore and he'll chew anything right now. Give him lots of safe things to chew on. If you have an old facecloth you can use, wet it and put it in the freezer. When it's frozen, give it to the puppy to chew - the ice relieves the sore gums. Ice cubes work too.
