Teeth falling out

[bevpeter]

Ok i have a question and who better to ask then the experts, my baby Rylie is four and half months old and i just got home from work and noticed that she is missing her 2 front bottom teeth ...I know puppies are suposed to lose their teeth but do they lose ALL OF THEM? Were those teeth supposed to have fallen out? i'm just being a little nutty and worring that maybe somehow they were knocked out...

yup, she'll lose all her teeth and they will be replaced with adult teeth, just like people four and a half months is about that time when the incisors start to fall out, at 6 months you'll notice the canine's falling out.

Is it just me? or am I the only one that can see that their older dog has a complete set of permanent teeth,obviosly having had to have lost the first set a long time ago, but where do they go? I mean, I havent fround one of daisys missing teeth, our Bichon. You would think if the vacuume cleaner picked one up, it would make a loud noise...... Strange

they usually swallow them.

They usually do swallow them. However, a couple of times I thought Georgie picked something up off the floor and was chewing it, so I open his mouth to get it and out comes a baby tooth!!! It's okay though I got my niece to get some aluminum foil and we are going to add that to his scrap book
