extra teeth

| Not always. The general rule of thumb for at least many small breeds is to have them spayed or neutered after their teeth have come in FOR situations like these. So the vet can extract them while performing the other procedure if necessary. |
| Thanks for the info but Darcy is to be a show dog. Madeline wants to have her intact, by the rules of the code for show.
We co-own her so she can be shown. |
| Most of the time they fall out but Kaytee had a few baby teeth that didn't. I
was afraid she'd choke on them  When we had her spayed, they simply removed them.
Call the breeder and get her advice... it seems reasonable if they don't eventually fall out they'll have to be pulled. |
| Can you really not show if you have a baby/extra tooth removed? How would they know? |
I think she means that she isn't going to have Darcy spayed so she won't be going in for a preplanned spay surgery  |
| oh. slaps head. makes more sense! |
| Now I could be wrong though...
Remember that all of my girls are spayed so I have absolutely no experience with show dogs |
| Deana speak to the breeder, it is not uncommon for the retained baby teeth when the new ones appear. If they do not come away and are not removed it could throw her bite out on the new teeth. Do you have her biting a bone to help dislodge the baby teeth? Are the baby ones retained loose at all? Wiggle them with your finger to find out. If not then they will have to be removed by the vet or it could muck up her bite for the showring.
If the new ones are not all the way down yet then no need to panick at the moment, just get that girl chewing on a large raw bone to get those baby teeth to come loose and fall out. |
