Concerned about baby teeth!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi Everyone,
My baby Kermit (yorkie) is 7 months old and weighs 4.8lbs. His adult canines are almost all the way out and still has his baby canines and they are not loose. When do I become concerned? What is normal. He was already neutered.

The same thing happened with Tucker. We just waited it out and they came out before he was a year old. Check regularly for food that might get stuck or signs of infection in the area, but other wise they will likely work themselves out. Oh yeah, lots of chew toys!

I got Teddi fixed when she was about 5 months and she hadn't lost any teeth. She finally lost a few but I had to get 6 taken out when she was a year....also she had one dew claw (I don't know if it grew back or what) so they removed that at the same time. Her teeth were getting all crooked but now they are all nice and straight...they straightened right out!
