Is it normal for a teething puppy to loose all bottom teeth between canines with no permanents in site?

She has plain soft gum where the teeth used to be and acts like they're sore. I always thought the baby teeth fell out as the permanent came in. I'm worried she might need to see a vet or is this normal.? She's a pekengese/shih-tzu/toy poodle mix. She's almost 6 months old and has been chewing constantly since about 8 weeks of age. This is the first sign of lost teeth to date.

Yes, it is normal, just as with human children.


If they don't grow in within a month, she should see the vet. Meanwhile, moisten her food.





Note: don't use human teething gel for her, as it is toxic to dogs.
Reply:yes this is normal. if she is acting like her gums are sore, then the new teeth are probably on their way. you can check with your vet to get her some teething gel if you are worried about her discomfort. kindof like they have for human babies.
Reply:Yes, just like human babies.
Reply:yes this is quite normal. my pup lost most of her teeth within one week .... i was woried abouther. but as she teethed and chewed they came through. dont worry.
Reply:yes the puppy will be fine the permanent teeth will come in
Reply:It's normal. New teeth will eventually grow in their place though. I have a 4 month old mixed breed pup and she's been loosing almost all her teeth, except for her canines. I found one on the floor this morning and were gonna put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. lol.





Something you could try though is to wet a wash cloth and twist it up, then put it in the freezer. When it gets cold and firm you can give it to her to chew on. It helps when pups are teething. My pup loves it.
Reply:Short-faced dogs loose teeth easily. It is a side effect of dwarfism. She could have been chewing or pulling on anything--a cloth, a toy, just anything and pulled them out herself. At 6 mo her permanent teeth should be in and her canines should be getting loose and ready to fall out. If she accidentally pulled out her permanent teeth on bottom they won't come back. Are you sure she never had her permanent teeth come in down there and accidentally lost them? It is not unusual for pekes to loose teeth accidentally at all.
Reply:yea, she is just getting older so they are ready to fall out. I wounld worry about it.
Reply:It is normal but can be different with ever dog. My first two I never even saw them loose there puppy teeth. My newest lost them right in front of me. One thing to watch out for is if the adult teeth grow in and they puppy teeth are still there. In that case it can cause health problem and they will need to be pulled. Another thing to keep in mind with smaller dogs is they can be prone to loosing there adult teeth. I met a guy who's Yorkie lost her adult teeth just chewing on bones and by the time she was 4 only had half her teeth left.





In the mean time they make some great toys at places like Petsmart that can be frozen. They make similar things for human babies. They cool feeling can help there gums feel better when teething. My puppy loved them when he was young and still loves them on a hot day now that he's older.
Reply:I haven't seen that happen.. Usually they come out and before you even realize it, they are filled back in.. The fangs seem to be the hardest on them, taking longest to come out and come back thru.. But those little tiny ones across the front.. They would have been the first


to go and then grown back in right away.





Likely the mix, bad teeth genes.
