Im making an appointment for his neutering in January...can I wait till then, and they can do it all?!





Please let me know

Adult teeth growing in beside baby teeth?
Call the vet but also start trying to wiggle the baby teeth frequently and give your dog lots of chew toys to try and move the teeth on their own
Reply:Call your vet and ask if it can be fixed at the same time as you neuter or if he needs to go in now. They may be a bit stuck, and could cause growth problems of his adult teeth if left too long, but a vet will tell you for sure.
Reply:retaining puppy teeth is a common problem in small breeds. You should make an appt with the vet.. he may want to pull the puppy teeth while he is being neutered.








Sometimes they will fall out on their own.. but not always. If the baby teeth do not come out, it can cause the adult teeth to come in funny.





You can give him some frozen treats to try to help loosen those baby teeth in the meantime. But I would definantly still talk to the vet about it.. he will most likely want to remove any while he is already under.
Reply:my 6 month old australian shepherd is the same way!!! i always tell her she looks like a goof ball cause she has 3 extra teeth (one fell out 2 days ago.) they will fall out when they are ready. thats naturally how they grow in. sure, the vet isnt going to refuse something to make more money, but every dog ive seen that has gone from puppy to big dog their teeth grew in like that. good luck!
Reply:you definitely will want to get those baby teeth out of there.. at the clinic I work at the vets will pull the baby teeth at the time of neuter/spay.. so definitely let your vet know when you schedule the neuter that you will also need them to check for and pull all baby teeth.. if they're not pulled and don't fall out on their own they will cause problems later on
Reply:Make sure he has plenty of chew toys, and does lots of chewing. Nylabones are great for working out stubborn baby teeth. It's not too late for him to work those out. My littlest Chihuahua is 7 months, and just a few weeks ago, finally lost her last 2 canines. I was getting worried was going to have to take her to have them removed. I bought her a new chicken flavored nylabone, and 3 days later, both baby teeth, that felt tightly in there before were gone!
Reply:Yes, they can neuter and remove the teeth at the same time.


The same thing happened to my Tank, Miniature Schnauzer. His vet recommended that I wait until it was time to get him fixed so that everything can be done at one time while he is under anesthesia.
