prince was 5 months yesterday! =) i just noticed that he has a second row of teeth growing behind his top front teeth & he looks like a sharkkk

i know this cant be a good thing but is it bad? when are his baby teeth supposed to start falling out and what usually happens when puppies get shark mouth? anyone know??

Well, Lucky had a second row of teeth behind his front to. I called the vet and they said that if he had'nt lost the first ones by the time he was around 10 months old that they would have to take them out. They fell out on there own before then thank goodness. Alot of people get them removed when they have them spayed or neutered.

This happens and it does have to be taken care of. Some have to have more teeth pulled then others. Roxie had to have 4 of her baby teeth removed and I had it done at the time she was spayed. If you don't have it done it can set up for big problems later. Food gets caught imbetween the rows of teeth and starts decay problems.

thanks for the replys.. so you think i can wait til he's 10 months or he gets neutured(whichever comes first) and if they dont fall out by then i would have to have them removed? or should it be taken care of sooner? he's 5 months and 3.6 pounds by the way..
