Any home remedy for pulling out baby teeth from a dog that never lost them?
Usually you just have them pulled when you alter your dog or have a regular dental done rather than having a special surgery for them. I would encourage her to play with any chew toys, especially play tug. And encourage her to eat milk bones.





Also, you didn't give an age. If she is still under a year, she may loose them herself. If not, take her for a regular dental at age one or two and your vet will pull them when he cleans the teeth.
Reply:your pup has been thru the worst of his chewing phase and the teeth still did not come out so i think you should go with the vet. the teeth really should come out and this is just one of those unexpected costs that arise when you take on the care of another living creature.
Reply:You can give him a kong toy to chew on but be very careful and don't try to pull them yourself bacause bleeding in the mouth is very hard to stop sometimes. If it is not a molar they should come out in time anyways. Feed him only dry food so he has to chew more. But 10 per tooth is not that bad. If he is just under a year old it is not a real big deal. He can live w/extra teeth but it could cause problems later on in life.
Reply:You should buy him a cows foot(the hoof) and let him chew on it. worked for my dog or these soft but really hard green key candies. they are not bad for his teeth or his health and they will pop the teeth right out.
Reply:my pup ate apples to lose his.
Reply:No.


Only the vet can do it.


Sorry :)
Reply:This is usually done while the dog is being neutered and already under anesthesia - you are having your dog neutered, aren't you?





And, no he can't, and shouldn't have to, live with 2 rows of teeth - the adult teeth will be compromised by the remaining puppy teeth.





Would you pull your own teeth or live with discomfort from 2 rows of teeth??? Stop being so cheap, better yet, have this done while your dog is being neutered as he should be unless you are showing him.
Reply:Ya know I have great regard for vets but 10 bucks a tooth is crazy. I don't know what to tell ya. How old is the dog? Mine is 6 mos old and when he was 4 and a half mos old, he had 2 rows of teeth and I just gave him those rawhide chewies (careful not to let them get too small cause he'll choke) and they all came out. As a matter of fact, I just had him to the vet for his pre neutering blood work the other day and she said they're all out and the new ones are all there and look good. So that's all I know but if your dog is like a year old or something then I'd just bite the bullet and pay the vet cause the dog will have a malocclusion which isn't good. hey, is there a veterinary school in your area? Cause if there is, they do surgeries real cheap as practice. Good luck.
Reply:You need to let the vet extract his teeth. This is the only painfree way to have them removed so his adult teeth can come in correctly.
Reply:Chew toys help; if the teeth are loose, chewing will probably loosen them more and help them eventually fall out. If they're in there and not loose at all, the vet needs to pull them. Sure, he can live with extra teeth, but they'll just cause problems and you'll have to get the teeth cleaned more often. If you can't afford it right now, wait until he needs his first dental cleaning, and get it done then. Or if you're going to get him neutered and haven't done so yet, get it done then. Or if any other kind of surgery (except for major surgeries, such as orthopedic/bone surgeries) comes up that he needs, get it done then. That will save you in the anesthesia, as he'll only need to be put out once for everything to get done, as opposed to now for the teeth, later for neutering, etc. If a lot of teeth are retained, however, and he really has 2 full rows, you should get it done as soon as possible, as it may make eating difficult for him. But as most dogs only retain a few teeth, if any at all, I'll assume it's not that big of a problem, and he'll be fine either way:)











By the way, don't feel guilty if you're not getting him neutered. There are just as many risks associated with neutering as there are with not neutering, if not more. As long as you are responsible, you can manage an unneutered dog just fine.
Reply:Our vet extracted our Pug's baby teeth when they neutered him ... they also gave us his baby teeth =} I can tell you that the teeth I looked at were very fragile, so I'm not sure how wise it would be to have your dog chew on something to hope they come out that way.
Reply:I'm not being rude, but would you like to live with two rows


of teeth. Most dogs go through this, and the dog relies on


you to take care of the problems. So take the dog to the


vet and get the teeth pulled. While your there get your dog


fixed to, cause if you can't handle teeth, what the hell would


you do if the dog gets pregnant. If you can't afford a pets


needs you shouldn't have a pet.
