| Teething help!!!! my 4 1/2 month old puppy is teething worse than I have ever experienced with my other puppies.. the vet suggested using baby oral gel which I have tried but it is a real fight to get it in his mouth much less on his gums... I am wondering if it is safe to give baby aspirin.. I have give it to my adult dogs and all I wanted to try was maybe 1/2 baby aspirin..he weighed 5.7lbs a few weeks ago when he got his last shots.. don't get me wrong I hate medicating any animal but I also know how bad a toothache can hurt..any suggestions...I have all the kongs, and chill sticks, puppy nylabones even bought a baby chill ring--none of it keeps his interest long enough...or it just doesn't work.... bear's mom.... |

| What do you mean by "teething". Your pups teeth are "in". It is a bit early for them to be coming "out". If he is needing something to chew on, "flossies" are great! Take it away when it gets down to 2 inches long. I have never given anything for pain when teething. Does the pup seem in some type of pain? I know this sounds choppy, its just that teething is something that should pretty much go unnoticed. If it is a "chewing" problem, again, those flossies (or bully sticks) are great and keep them quite busy |
