Teeth stages on yorkies - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Nap · 12-13-2016, 11:24 AM

I have an 8 week Yorkie about 26 oz (1 lb 8 oz) who doesn't have much of a teeth growing on the front and back but he has his 4 teeth on the top and bottom as I would call "fangs". I just want to know if anyone had a Yorkie whose teeth showed up much later. Vet wants to do surgery to bring out his baby teeth as it may cause more damage if I wait later but my dog is so tiny. Does anyone had this experience with their yorkies? I never had a small Yorkie. I normally would have a 10 to 12 lb adult sz yorkies. My Yorkie now is charting between 5 to 6 minths full grown. Please help. Thank you.

Hmmmm, I don't have experience with this...think I'd get a second opinion...?

Has anyone experienced this? I really need your opinion. I believe, I was told the right age. I read that this is common on small breeds. My little boy is alert. He doesn't care much for hard food though he was being fed with NutriSource dry food for puppies at the breeder's house. I just grind them, add water and mix a little with his wet food. I do not know if the Breeder knew about the puppy without having any teeth. I did not even expect that a Breeder would sell a puppy in this condition. Yorkies I bought from other breeders never had this problem.
I just want to know how big this problem is going to be and what was done if your Yorkie had this issue. Vet recommended surgery at 3 months of age. But he is so tiny and very young.
