Hi Everybody!
Yesterday out vet came to our house to give my 7 year old German Shepherd, Max, his yearly shots. He's a big boy and is very gentle, however when we take him to the vet's office he turns into Cujo. So the vet comes to our house to give the 3 cats and Max their vaccinations. Ok anyway, so while he was there, I asked him to look at Poochie's mouth. I didnt know if it was my imagination but it looked like he had a double row of teeth at certain areas in his mouth. Not everywhere but certain teeth. The vet confirmed that yes he does have baby & adult teeth. He said this is not uncommon in small breed dogs. He said to wait awhile to see if he loses the baby teeth, if not he will need surgery.
Have any of you incountered this with your babies? Is it painful for Poochie?(he sure doesnt seem like he's in pain) Do you think I should wait and if so how long do I wait for these baby teeth to come out?
Thanks so much for any input you can give me! You guys are great!!!
