Losing puppy teeth?

My 4 month old puppy is losing teeth. He has lost about 5 allready. Is it too early?





What can I do for him? He is probably in pain right?

Losing puppy teeth?
It%26#039;s normal. Make sure you have plenty of rubber toys for him to chew on. Also, when my youngest dog began teething I gave her one of those baby toys you give to toddlers when they are teething- you put them in the fridge so they are cold. She seemed to like the cold toy during teething than any other one- I believe they make something like this for dogs though incase you don%26#039;t want to use a toddler%26#039;s one.
Reply:thats a normal time to start loosing teeth. I don%26#039;t think he%26#039;s in pain. I never read much on that though.
Reply:just keep some chew toys for him, that%26#039;s all
Reply:no you don%26#039;t need to do any thing he is just loosing his baby teeth just like humans. hes not in any pain don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:no its a natural thing. just give him plenty of toys to teethe on or else he will go for your shoes!!
Reply:thats one month early ,put some aloe vera gel on it


dont worry its normal and he is not in pain much at all.
Reply:Puppies usually lose their teeth around that time. It will probably ease the pain i you give them something to chew on.
Reply:i would give him cold water and soft dog food
Reply:Do Nothing; this is natural. If he doesn%26#039;t lose all the baby teeth before the permanent ones comes in, they may be too crowded, %26amp; the Vet would have to pull the baby teeth that didn%26#039;t come out; let Nature do its thing.
Reply:No, he%26#039;s at about the right age. He probably isn%26#039;t in as much pain as you might think. Just give him a soft chew toy to help him teethe.





Oh, and do be careful if you tend to walk around with bare feet. My hubby stepped on one of our puppy%26#039;s teeth one night and bled for ages. He complained loudly. Puppy was just fine. ;-)
Reply:no its normal,they don`t seem to be in pain...but its bugging then so mebay something to chew on would be a good idea......
Reply:THERE IS TOOTH PASTE AND POWERS TO USE FOR THEIR TEETH GUMS -THE POWERED STUFF YA JUST BUY AT A PET STORE AND THE PASTE AND BRUSH--YOUR DOG SHOULD BE FINE -JUST CHECK TO SURE ITS GUMS ARE NOT RED-IF SO ,GET TO THE VET.
Reply:Nah this is normal. Purchase some of them frozen bite type toys for babes teething...he is ok and no he is not in pain....animals can endure much more than humans even though us humans feel our dogs are human...lol...he is ok but if he whimpers give him one 200mg motrin or one baby aspirin...any doubts or questions contact link provided. Hector is Great....and reknowned....good luck
Reply:No, it is not too early for him to lose his baby teeth.





Puppies ave 28 baby teeth which will soon be replaced with 42 adult teeth.





I%26#039;m sure his gums are a little sore and you may find that he will not eat as well as he usually does, but don%26#039;t be alarmed.





You can give him ice cubes to chew on to help ease any discomfort ant and you also freeze a wet wash cloth and let him chew on that, BUT watch him carefully with the washcloth. You don%26#039;t want him to tear it to to bits and swallow any of it. There are also teething toys that you buy for him at any of the major pet stores.





Here%26#039;s a link about teething that you may find helpful as well. If you%26#039;re lucky, you might even find one or two to save in his scrapbook :-)
Reply:Yes, it%26#039;s alright to lose teeth that early, and for the pain, u culd put ice to his gums or something
Reply:Actually, this is just the right time for him to be loosing his teeth. They start shedding their incisors at about 4 months. The process is a bit painful, which is why they start to chew a whole lot while they%26#039;re teething. You%26#039;ll definitely want to make sure he has plenty of chew toys around, otherwise he%26#039;ll turn to your stuff. It%26#039;s a good idea to keep track of his teeth during this time, just in case he retains a baby tooth or something is coming in extremely crooked. He should end up with 42 teeth total, which is more than he had as a puppy. They start with 28. He should be done around 6-7 months when his molars come in. Unless he is showing overt signs of pain, I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. I couldn%26#039;t find anything on petco.com that would help oral pain, and the %26quot;natural%26quot; remedies online are like $30 a bottle. The way I see it, puppies have been teething without pain meds for thousands of years. They should be fine unless there is a dental problem


I hope this helps!
Reply:It%26#039;s nothing to worry about! It%26#039;s perfectly normal! Puppies lose their baby teeth, just like we lose our baby teeth, when we are babies, to make room for the permanent ones. Half of the time, they just swallow the teeth, so you don%26#039;t even know they are missing. Just make sure he has a lot of chew toys, and keep items he should not be getting into out of reach, because when they are teething, they will chew on anything.
