chipped tooth

THOR

Yesterday Thor chipped his front left k-9 tooth he is 15 weeks... I was wondering if anyone knows if it will grow back or will he get it back with his adult teath

He should start loosing them anytime now. Does it look like there is nerve showing? Or just a small chip? I would just watch it until he looses it.

THOR

See I could see the nerve in there it was bleeding but didn't bother him a bit and still isn't but yep nerve is showing

If it's his baby teeth there shouldn't be too much root to it like their would with his adult teeth. Probably causing no pain and due to be falling out soon anyway and replaced with his adult tooth.

THOR

Ok cool that sounds great yea I was worried I heard snap so I started freaking out lol well see im pretty sure its his baby teeth that he still has.... so yall eased my mine..... so will I find his teeth laying around or weill he most likely eat them lol?

Apollo bled so bad when he lost teeth. I don't know if that's normal, but watch for a bloody wagging tongue. You will know when he starts looking them. The poor pups are miserable.

Stoeger is losing them now. When his little front teeth fell out I didn't see them, but the back bled a lot and he just lost two canine. I found two, I guess, molars and one canine. I found one on our couch, one in a water bowl, and one hangin off his lip! Lol

THOR

Aww well that stinks.... I didn't know that loseing there teeth was such a painful process.... but yea thats crazy I didnt know they lose them like that lol poor Stoeges and Apollo

Thor, while he was teething I put wet wash clothes in the freezer. It helped a little when he chewed on them.

THOR

Thanks Apollo that sounds like a great idea ill do that and I know Thor will love it to lol

Stoges_mom

I did that as well but keep an eye on him because Stoeger chew the rags to peices in about two minutes!!

apollosmama

Agreed mama!!

You should freeze a small strip of steak for him to teeth on, rags scare me to much if ingested can cause serious harm, but then again I'm way to paranoid about my dogs.

Leslie

I feed mine frozen pork chops

THOR

Dang thanks guys tese all sound like great ideas and I took Thor to his vet today and she said that it will be fine that he should be loseing his baby teeth within the next couole weeksso Iim gonna for sure try these

I don't know if there's a thread for teething. Apollo had lost his appetite and slept A LOT while he was teething. He'd look up at you with these sad little eyes and you could just see how uncomfortable he was. I have seen these covers for water bottles sold at Petsmart. If I had thought about it at the time, I would have filled a bottle with water, froze it and stuck it in that cover. I'm sure that would have felt awesome.
