Puppy teeth - adult teeth???? 5 mounths?
soon, sometimes if you look you will see the adult teeth coming through and the pupy teeth still conected.let him chew on dental bones and hard toys then the baby teeth will loosen up.he will be showing a good set of chops before he is 7 to 8 mths old.
Reply:should be any time now. if he retains his puppy teeth for more than a few more weeks, consult your vet.
Reply:Usually, puppy teeth will start being replaced by adult teeth starting around 3 1/2 months. Sometimes, like in children, the baby teeth don%26#039;t fall out and will need help from a veterinarian to have them pulled to allow the adult teeth to come in and too prevent the adult teeth growing in incorrectly. Make sure you have lots of chew type toys so he can help loosen the baby teeth so they can allow the adult teeth to come in.
Reply:most dogs start the process of loosing their puppyteeth and growing in adult teeth between 4 and 8 motnhs of age. if he still has puppyteeth at the time of his neuter the vet will pull them to make room for the adult teeth, retained babyteeth is not uncommon.
Reply:awe puppies
Reply:My puppy just turmed 5 mos and she has all of her adult teeth either in or coming in. You might want to call your vet....they might want to check because they might have to pull some.
Reply:Dogs, like kids, will lose their teeth at different times. Give him until about 6-7 months old. If no teeth have come out by this time, then you may want to have him checked by a vet, just to be sure there is nothing bigger which is causing this.
