My dog is loosing his teeth, is it normal?

He is 5 month old Lab Retriver, I will take him to the veterinarie so please don't give me that advice. Than you.

My dog is loosing his teeth, is it normal?
I also have a lab, and one day we saw him trying to get rid of something in his mouth and then suddenly, it fell to the ground and it was his tooth. He was around 5 or 6 months old. Now, everything had grown back and he have the most gorgous smile ever...hehe...Don't worry! it's just part of a dog's life growing up. On the other hand, if he's 2-5 years of age and start losing his teeth, then there's seriously teeth problem. Consult your vet right away.
Reply:I'm guessing it's his baby teeth. They loose them at about that age.
Reply:He's a puppy, and just like human children, puppies and kittens lose their baby teeth to be replaced by adult teeth. Not to worry.
Reply:Puppies loose their milk teeth just like kids lose their baby teeth. at that age it is probably just his milk teeth.
Reply:he is probably losing his baby teeth
Reply:It's very normal. He's just losing those nasty, sharp puppy teeth! He doesn't need to see the vet THIS time.
Reply:Puppies begin to lose their puppy teeth at about four to five months old. During this period, which lasts about two months, the baby teeth are shed and replaced by adult teeth. Sometimes their mouths become sore and they'll chew stuff, so be sure he has a lot of chew toys to chew on. After the teething period, just check to make sure no baby teeth were retained after the adult teeth emerged. They'll have to be removed. Retained baby teeth is more common in toy breeds, though, so you shouldn't have to worry.
Reply:He is teething just like a human child does, his adult teeth are beginning to push through the gums. Not to worry or go to the vet for now.
Reply:Yes, dogs do loose their baby teeth. No one told me that and I got scared when my chihuahua lost his teeth, he started biting alot when his teeth were comming in so I started wetting a rag and freezing it then giving it to him whenever he seemed to be in pain. Try it, it worked well and keeps from getting blood all over the place.





You may want to bring him to the vet when he seems to have lost all his teeth, mine had a few that the vet had to take out, they did this at the same time I had him neutered so he wouldn't have to be under anistisia(sp?) twice
Reply:Yes this is normal he is losing baby teeth. You should be concerned if there is non stop bleeding or there is not another tooth in that spot to replace it. But yes puppy can start losing there baby teeth as early as 3 1/2 to 4 months
Reply:That's quite normal. I've worked with 6 dogs and they loose there baby teeth until there 6 months and when they get older they lose a few every year. However, dogs are built so that when they loose bad, chipped, or decaying teeth, the teeth grow back. Check the gums of his teeth however, try poking them and if they bleed easily (don't poke with a knife or pen!!!) or have to many color variations he may be having teeth/gum problems.
Reply:Yes it is perfectly normal. Give him lots of chewy toys to help him with teething. Needs to chew and massage the gums to help with the discomfort. There chew toys that you put in the freezer, just like for children.
Reply:He is losing his puppy teeth, its normal. He needs adult teeth for when he is bigger, just like children.
Reply:I think it's normal because when my dog was about that age, he lost some teeth and I freaked out, but everybody else (including our vet) said that was normal, even though I've never heard about that happening before.
Reply:No need to go to the vet. My yorkie pup is 6 months and he started losing teeth also. They are just like children, they lose their baby teeth and grow adult teeth. My vet told me that by a year if he still has baby teeth he needs to have them pulled.
Reply:There's no need to panic. He is just teething. Puppies lose their baby teeth in order to make room for their permanent teeth, just like we did when we were babies. It's perfectly normal.
Reply:yeh its perfectly normal! =] its just like when you're a child you loose your baby teeth and sometimes you losethem quickly andfor others it takes a WHILE! lol your dogs fine luv ♥babii kenz♥
Reply:No that is sooo not normal, dont lie, and take him to the vet.
