Mazz Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I assume it's a puppy tooth. Molars in puppies are rather shallow. It will not have very deep roots, and is more than likely connected with soft tissue. The adult molar will be pushing up through the gum and eventually will cause the puppy molar to release. It gets a bit tender and yet itches at the same time. You may want to give Ice some soft food and see if she will eat that. Puppies end up swallowing a lot of their puppy teeth, so don't worry about it if you can't find it. I would not attempt to remove the loose tooth. Let nature take her course and Ice should be fine. If you are concerned, you may want to contact the vet and have it checked, but more often than not, it's a normal process that takes from two to four days before the tooth releases.

ice Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 thanks of that, yes its her puppy tooth, she always gets fed soaked kibble and mashed raw food so it is soft enough for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I wouldn't worry about her not eating in the short term. Sibes can go for a couple of days before intervention is required. Is she drinking ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
