My dog is losing his teeth,how many will he lose if he is old? I do not know his age.?

If he's not a puppy shedding his puppy teeth and growing his adults teeth, your dog may have some dental problems. Talk with your vet ASAP about getting some dental x-rays done. Keeping your animal's teeth clean is as important to them as it is for us. They can get abscesses, broken teeth, heart conditions, liver conditions, kidney conditions, etc., from bad teeth. Does your dog have a lot of tartar on his teeth? I would highly recommend a dental cleaning and dental x-rays to see what's going on inside the gums. Your dog may need antibiotics before having the dental procedure and possibly bloodwork to make sure it's safe for him to go under anesthesia. Your veterinarian can do a dental cleaning at their office but they may not have have dental x-rays there. The best thing to do is set up an appointment for a physical exam of the teeth and then ask your vet about a dental cleaning and x-rays.
