Dog's baby teeth will not come out, help.?

We bought a little Yorkie a year ago, she has her permanent teeth in but also still has the incisor baby teeth, poor little thing, she looks like a little alligator, we have tried to see if they are even loose with a piece of dental floss, they are not. Does anyone know approximately how much to have the vet remove these. Am afraid to even guess. She weighs about four or five pounds. Thanks much.

prob not alot because of the little weight but depends who you go to
Reply:If she isn't in pain (as much as you) leave her alone, they'll come out when they're ready.
Reply:hey, this happened with my dog and the teeth eventually fell out, although my dogs teeth happened one at a time, your sound like they are all there at the same time. it sounds like a problem and you should get a dentist to check it out, just get a quote from the dentist, prices vary.
Reply:You should go to the vet to have them removed...the cost varies from vet to vet of course...my guess would be between $150-$250, depending on how many teeth need to be removed it could be more. Call around to different vets to find the best deal.


And in case your wondering, the price gets so high because it usually includes office visit, anesthia, surgery and pain meds..
Reply:I have a 6 lb Yorkie-poo with the exact same problem. She has about 10 baby teeth behind her adult teeth and also looks like an alligator : ) My vet is going to pull them when she gets spayed next month and he charges $10 - $15 a tooth. However, a friend of mine said she was charged $5/ea for her pup's teeth in Florida, so it might depend on your area. I don't have an at home fix, but it was suggested to me to give them bully sticks as they get stringy and help loosen them. Hope that helps a little!
