Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / April 2006puppy teeth- when to pull them?
At what point does it become necessary to have puppy teeth pulled if they haven't fallen out on their own? Cali, almost 8 months old, still has 2 of her puppy teeth and they aren't even close to wiggling out. I plan to have them pulled when she is spayed but that isn't for another few months (was scheduled for March but postponed due to her going into heat). I can provide a picture of the teeth in question if that will help. Thanks for any info. If they don't seem to be causing any problems - ie not causing any pain or discomfort I would just leave them until she is spayed - that way she doesn't have to have two anaesthetics .... > At what point does it become necessary to have puppy teeth pulled if they > haven't fallen out on their own?

I'd hate to put her thru it twice unless really needed > At what point does it become necessary to have puppy teeth pulled if > they haven't fallen out on their own?

What did your vet say? >> At what point does it become necessary to have puppy teeth pulled if >> they haven't fallen out on their own?

But especially with upper canines, they tend to be very slow to do. I pulled Zippers (well had them pulled) because the new teeth coming in over the top were coming in too far forward, I didn't want to ruin his bite. But he's a show dog. Does it seem to bother Cali? It bothered Zip a bit I think--all that pressure from two teeth trying to occupy one space. >> At what point does it become necessary to have puppy teeth pulled if they >> haven't fallen out on their own?

Does it seem to bother Cali? I don't think so but they are both 2 nice sized teeth and the others pushed in right next to them. I have a picture, maybe I'll load it on the website I use. > It bothered Zip a bit I think--all that pressure from two teeth trying to > occupy one space. I just called the vet and they said that the teeth should be fine. The trainer says otherwise but alas, she is not a vet. We usually recommend pulling them if they do not come out by 10 months, but it isn't critical.
