Go to the vet and ask because it might be a dangerous situation

My six month old puppy has lost all his teeth but his canine%26#039;s. Should i be worried yet?
I would consult a vet about this. I have had dogs all while I was growing up and that has not happened. Maybe the food you were giving the puppy was too hard for him. That can cause a dogs teeth to become loose and fall out.
Reply:you should take the puppy to the vet puppies aren%26#039;t supposed to lose their teeth at that age it could lead to teeth decay or some kind of infection in the mouth that made the him lose all his teeth or something the dog chewed on that was too hard for him
Reply:Smaller dogs sometimes don%26#039;t lose their baby teeth on their own. When you take your dog in to be spayed or neutered (now is the right time!!) tell your vet to check/pull the remaining baby teeth when your pup is under sedation. It will ensure that his grown up teeth will grow in right and he won%26#039;t have any problems with his bite later on.
Reply:Yes. You should certainly go the the vets and get to the bottom of this problem.
Reply:Seriously? Where do people come up with this stuff? Your dog is not abnormal. It happens. Sometimes they don%26#039;t fall out on their own. The permanent tooth usually grows in front of it so you will see 2 teeth there. The vet usually takes them out during the spay/neuter. Don%26#039;t be alarmed. I%26#039;ve seen a dog 3 years old that still had her baby canines. We took them out. She had no problems before or after. Your dog%26#039;s teeth are not decaying, nor is it in any danger. Jesus. I swear I don%26#039;t have a clue where people get this stuff. Do they make it up? I mean really.


Here%26#039;s information when teeth typically begin to grow.








Tooth Eruption








Deciduous Permanent


Incisors 4 - 6 weeks 3 - 5 months


Canine 5 - 6 weeks 4 - 6 months


Premolars 6 weeks 4 - 5 months


Molars 5 - 7 months
Reply:Ask your vet, most vets say to wait until 1 year before extracting retained puppy teeth. If your dog hasn%26#039;t been neutered yet, ask them to pull the teeth while he%26#039;s being neutered, that way he only has to be put under anesthesia once. Retained puppy teeth are pretty common, it%26#039;s nothing to worry about too much. But you do need to get them out at some point.





Edit: Both my Papillon and my mom%26#039;s Yorkie pups took the longest for their canines.
Reply:Call your vet and ask him I know a couple teeth come out after the baby teeth but I cant remember which ones. Sorry
