When should I have my puppys tooth pulled
I have a 5 month old Rottweiler. The teething process has been fine so far, but one of her K-9 baby teeth is dis-colored and has not fallen out yet. Her adult canine has grown in behind it and looks out of line with the rest of her teeth. Should I rush her to the vet and get it pulled or just wait for it to fall out?
Answers:If the baby teeth have not fallen out by now I would get them removed as the aduly tooth have arrived and there is no movement in the baby tooth it may not fall out by itself. I had this same problem and I waited untill 7 months and the adult teeth set in the wrong place and the dog was not able to be showen and the K9 was hitting the top of the mouth and I had to get the K9 filed down to make it more comfortable for him.
I would leave it alone and let it fall out on it's own. Just watch for any changes in her behaviour to indicate you might need to get it removed by a vet. The discoloration just means its' a dead tooth.
Give her something plushy to chew/play with...that might wiggle the tooth out enough.
If it doesn't come out by six months, it should be pulled. It should be time to get her spayed soon, so ask the vet to check it while she's under. If it needs to be pulled, then you won't have to pay for anesthesia twice.
