My chihuahua's canine tooth is falling out!!!?

First, he is just about 6 months. We were playing tug-o-war with his toy. I played rough... way more than I should have. Next thing I know, he went all the way in the corner of the room, as if he was hurt. Then, he started licking his lips non-stop. I looked and see a bit of blood coming out. When I touched it, it seemed like it was loose at the root... its still in his mouth.. I don't know what to do... Please help!!!





I am going to call the vet tomorrow... Is he destroyed for life?

Its OK!!! He's just loosing his puppy teeth. This will happen to all of is puppy teeth and then he will grow his adult teeth. Its normal for them to bleed, just like when kids loose their teeth.
Reply:he'll live. its just a tooth
Reply:Your pup will be just fine. He isn't destroyed for life. Like Children loose their teeth puppies also loose there teeth. They usually start to go through this at about 4-9 months. Your puppy is loosing his "milk teeth" and his permanent teeth will be growing in very soon after. This is a necessary process that your puppy is going through. But it won't hurt to take him to the vet just to have it checked out.

Reply:puppy teeth.. or baby teeth as we usually say lol.. i wouldnt worry but if u want to get him check then the vet is a gud idea!
Reply:Don't panic, and don't call the vet, your puppy is fine!!


Just like kids, pups lose their baby teeth. Our puppy lost all his, and they all grew back, good as new, so you really have nothing to worry about.


You obviously love your puppy very much to get so worried! :)
Reply:GOODNESS! It's just a loose tooth! You remember loosing your teeth as a kid? Well, that's what's happening to him. It's natural for baby teeth to fall out and adult teeth to grow in, Just like humans. You didn't destroy him! Good heavens!





Nonetheless, your concern for your dog goes to show that you are a good owner.





Raise your dog like you would a kid: When he's bad, discipline him. When he's good, Reward him. When he's playful... Just play with him!








ANOTHER THING: I'd be able to give you more advice if you allowed E-mail! (You people are PARANOID!!!)
