So...how annoying is this? Oakley lost yet ANOTHER baby tooth tonight! I am 100% certain it's a baby tooth, and it's matching buddy on the other side is loose as well. I swear--are you for real? this dog has been put out 2x to have teeth pulled, and each time the vet is certain they are all gone. Plus she got one popped out when her knee was operated on. I do think the 2 popping out now deffo are the last 2, but who even knows? She has a good bite but I don't think she's lost a single baby tooth on her own. Ridiculous. it makes it really difficult to keep her mouth clean and well cared for even with RMB's, brushing, petzlife, water additive, bullies etc. etc.
On the other hand, I now am paranoid. Poor Leah and Ivy are losing a few teeth a night b'c I am so paranoid they will stay in that I've been yanking them haha.
For what it's worth, a loose puppy tooth which doesn't fall out by the time you see the adult tooth--very well can kind of "re-set" and not fall out, which is why I am pulling any out they have that are loose...but I am not their favorite person right now lol.

Oh dear Oakley! Made me chuckle though because you know that back tooth of Mari's you'd asked about (because the vet wouldn't pull Oakleys?)....well as it would be....cleaning up after pups takes a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge toll on teeth. The one Mari had left in the back got really wiggley & I just had to pull it. How do you even dare to pull them Kristi? What do you use...just your fingers? They're hard to grip sometimes....with Mari's I did with some gauze but it was still difficult. Maya had a lower baby canine left that was wiggley but it had grown so I couldn't pull it (or maybe I didn't dare pull hard enough?). Luckily when the girls were in a little scrap it came out. LOL It's good to know about them resetting.... Hopefully Oakley is done loosing baby teeth! She won't have any left if she keeps this up though!  |

You know whats funny? Kiki had her baby canines in when her adults came in and they were stuck fast in there, absolutely solid. Then out of no where (I think maybe the Ostrich?) one side has got really wobbly. I really want it to come out now because its making her gum red  I'm scared its going to get infected but she won't let me do more than wobble it so I've been giving her chews to help loosen it up more! |

I had the vet pull one of Brody's baby teeth on the bottom. He had two and they were in front of the bottom row, kind of on the sides by the canines. One is out of the way and well seated, the other one got really loose. I wiggled it and worked on it and his gum got inflamed and then the tooth died but wouldn't come out. Everytime I tried to yank it - he screeched, so I backed off. When he went to the vet a couple weeks ago for titers and bloodwork, I told the vet to pull it. No sedation, just give him a local and do it. So he did and pop - out it came - but it had a LONG root on it. I can take a picture. It's like as long as a dime. He said if I would have left it in, it likely would have abscessed. It's been a couple weeks and you can't even tell where it was. And yes, it was the source of occasional nasty breath! He yawns in my face now and I can't smell anything at all. |

Tracy I think Kiki's tooth is dying now! I'm really scared it going to get infected. It sounds like the same as Brody had. I might have to take Kiki in when I take Chaos next week! |

Is it changing colour?? Both lotus' and daisys did that daisy had one that was very loose but wouldn't come out so the vet just yanked it with pliers she screamed and it was over! Lotus just came out an I didn't even notice! I found on the top ones if you ram your nail between it to push it away from the other it loosens them up

She won't let me do much to it, the inside of it is changing colour so I know its dying. I'll give it a go with more wiggling but I have a feeling it will just need to come out!
