I have a teacup yorkshire who is 8 years old and recently lost 2 of her teeth on her top jaw. Is this normal for an older dog or is there something wrong?
My 8 year old dog randomly lost 2 teeth, is this normal?
Old age certainly could be a factor, but it could be other things as well. She may have bit too hard on a toy and loosened the teeth, or it could be a sign of abscess or infection. Has she been eating normally? Still able to chew hard treats or kibble? I would check with a vet just to be certain.
Reply:I have heard that yorkies lose teeth when they are older you may want a vet to check and maybe clean the other teeth to prevent losing them all.
Reply:if the dogs teeth are very dirty and you see a lot of yellow or greenish buildup the dog stands a good chance of losing more teeth not to mention the gum infection.
