Losing his puppy teeth??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rlynch · 04-19-2005, 06:56 PM

My Yorkie is about 4 1/2 months now and has started to loose all his teeth. Is this about the right time? Tonight he has one just hanging by a thread and he keeps licking like he has something stuck in his mouth. Is there anything that I can do to help him out? Also, I've noticed that his eating has dropped way off the last couple of days which I figure is a result of his mouth probably being really sore. What can I do so he can eat without hurting his mouth? Thanks for any advice.

You can give him canned food of the same brand you are using now .

You can pull it out if it is so loose. You will need to watch the molar caps..molars have no roots. Sometimes they get impacted with the new adult molars..I take a wet wash cloth or tooth brush and brush them, especially if you notice bad breath in a teething puppy.
