Pup not losing baby teeth - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Peanut is 5 months old and we've been waiting to schedule her appointment to get spayed because we wanted to wait until she's lost most of her baby teeth. That way we can have the vet pull any remaining teeth. But she hasn't lost 1 tooth yet! Is this normal? Is there anything I can do besides playing tug-o-war with her? Any advice is appreciated!

Uh-oh! I would say it could be a problem. Mine lost all of her baby teeth on her own. Thank goodness. But Muffin had to have three pulled when she was a baby. I'd just wait and hope and keep playing tug-of-war and give her lots of things to chew on. There is still some time. Between 5 and 6 months they usually go fast. Keep us updated.
