Question?? Teeth Pulling?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My little baby Bailey went to get netured today (age: 1 year) and when they checked him in and did a "once over" on him they noticed that two of his baby teeth are still intact and that he needs a teeth cleaning. My question is, at what age should all of his baby teeth be gone by? I thought a year was too young to have had already lost his teeth. I have to let the vet know by 10:00 AM if I want to have them pulled while he is under and although I know we should have the surgery done while he is already "out" I don't want to have an unnecessary procedure done on him if I don't have to. Poor little guy. To top it all off I am leaving for Bend, OR (6-hour trip) today and my husband will be taking care of Bailey while I am gone. I know he is capable but........well no one ever does it as good as mom.

Your thoughts on this are appreciated.

They are usually gone at a year or a litlle after a year. Mine both had 4 pulled when they were spayed/neutered.
