Very old dog losing teeth?

I know it is normal for older dogs. I do brush her teeth. I have only had her since february. Never had a dental cleaning. 12 yrs old 13 in september. She had all of them last week and noticed 2 of them gone on the top front just minutes ago. I do check them reuarly and not really much tarter just very bad breath.





does this mean they will start going fast. does this mean she is not going to be with us much longer. She gets around very normal and I was planning a dental cleaning in a month or so. I started brushing them when i got her and spraying with the mouth spray. any advice would be helpful or anyone has gone through this





thank u in advance

Very old dog losing teeth?
Could be periodontal disease-- we see it a lot in older pets, especially those who have never had a dental. There are many dental conditions in dogs and cats, just as in people.





I would have the vet take a look as best as possible to get a rough idea of whether there is a lot of gingivitis (gum inflammation), tartar or other dental problem.





Kudos on the tooth brushing! I wish more folks brushed their pets%26#039; teeth-- it would make doing these prophy cleanings so much easier, and save these pets a lot of problems with the kidneys down the road.





Unresolved dental problems and bad teeth are the #1 reason for kidney and heart problems in older pets-- you are doing a huge thing to preserve your buddy%26#039;s health. :)





Call your vet tomorrow morning and set up a time for an oral pre-exam and even preanesthesia bloodwork-- then get your friend in to have those teeth cleaned and cared for ASAP... he%26#039;ll feel SO much better for it, and so will you!!
Reply:bad odor is common with old dogs
Reply:if her breath is bad.........that means infection.........bad teeth.....antibiotics and vet
Reply:It sounds like she may have gingivitis or stomatitis. Can you bring forward the vet visit? They may be able to help prevent further tooth loss. Diet may play a part in it, this you would need to talk over with your vet.





It doesn%26#039;t mean she%26#039;s going to die, I have known dogs and cats who have lived for around 8 years after losing teeth, it just means they have to eat soft food, which isn%26#039;t that great but they can %26#039;survive%26#039; on it, not necessarily healthily though.
Reply:look at it his way, if she bites someone her teeth will fall out.
Reply:Dental cleaning/Antibiotics (if needed) NOW, not in a month.





If your teeth were falling out and your breath was very foul from infection... wouldn%26#039;t you want antibiotics and a dental cleaning NOW? Or would you rather wait a month..?

Dream about losing teeth/nose bone! Interpretation?

In my dream, one of my teeth fell out and then also the bone in my nose (the bone actually resembled the shape of my whole nose, if that%26#039;s at all important!), and I had friends around me, but I forget the circumstances. There were parts of the bone left in my nose thta I was tring to get out also. Interpretations?

Dream about losing teeth/nose bone! Interpretation?
I%26#039;ve had the dream about my teeth falling out many times and It%26#039;s really scary. Actually it%26#039;s not a dream, it%26#039;s a nightmare!
Reply:i believe it has ramifications toward the financial side of your life and difficulties associated with finances
Reply:what every makes your budget happy, and then you as well. make sure they work together, even if that means wait.
Reply:Perhaps there%26#039;s something about yourself that you don%26#039;t want them to know, something you%26#039;ve done or said or think, or something you feel insecure about when you%26#039;re with those friends.





Not necessarily insecurity about your teeth or nose, but those are representative of two things that if lost are difficult to hide, or their absence is embarrassing...people might look on with shock or horror, and may reject you.
Reply:Wow!! I used to have similar dreams!! very similar!! I just put down to the fact my worst nightmare would be to loose my teeth at a young age.
Reply:maybe you simply think of losing your teeth (which might happens) or your nose (which is more rare)...
Reply:Its like you have lots of responsibilities and you are overwhelm . Is someone is sick in your family / because yes you can loose a family member or a good friend
Reply:Don%26#039;t spend a lot of money. As you may be broke very soon.





Finance issue.
Reply:If it helps, you are not alone. I often dream of my teeth falling out. I don%26#039;t know what it means but financial status and fearing rejection sound reasonable to me.
Reply:I%26#039;ve had this exact dream, only my nose bone looked a little like a wishbone! I wish I knew what it meant too!
Reply:I break your dream down for you:





tooth loss dreams are very common for a lot of people as it can also symbolise the loss of our childhood innocence.





Your dream may be a message that an important milestone is occurring and urging you to face the inevitable. Losing teeth in dreams can also point to insecurity about finances.





To see bones in your dream, suggests the discovery of your personal, family, or cultural secrets. It is also symbolic of your underlying strengths that you have not yet recognised.





To dream of broken bones, signifies that you have discovered or realised that there is a weakness in your plans or in your thinking. Your dream may call for you immediate attention to a particular situation or relationship.





The next time you dream about losing teeth, or the bone in your nose, before trying to figure out what it means, ask yourself how the dream made you feel.





Blessed Be

Dreams about losing teeth?

i keep dreaming that my teeth are falling out! does anyone know what this could mean?

Dreams about losing teeth?
Well, I guess you need to go to dream moods...whatever website. If you are going back to school soon, you could be scared about failing or not be accepted..etc....which would kinda fit in with some of the website stuff.... no having the power to make good grades....or not feeling you will measure up in terms of your appearance. So, gotta say...be yourself and be in the moment ....have fun learning and doing and being and not thinking bad thoughts...people like fun loving, alive, interesting people...not perfect people.
Reply:It means that you think you%26#039;re life is crumbling around you and it%26#039;s out of control! Or else you have a tooth ache!
Reply:One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you.





Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation.
Reply:Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?





One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.�





Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.�





Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.





In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.





Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.





Other Perspectives





A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicate that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.





In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.





According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if your are telling lies.





It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

Reply:You are having fears and anxieties with an aspect of yourself.
Reply:yes this is a very common type of dream. I have had it quite a few times myself. I think it means some kind of insecurity issue like depression or anxiety that needs to be worked on
Reply:My mom told me that having dreams like that means that someone will pass away....
Reply:It means you are going to lose a relative and it depends on which teeth you have seen falling. I mean if it is the front one it would be distant relative and if it is the back one it would be your imediate family.


Sorry for that.

Toy Poodle losing teeth?

Hello I have a 4month old toy poodle and i noticed that his front baby teeth are falling out. I believe that%26#039;s normal, but i%26#039;m not sure because its his front teeth??

Toy Poodle losing teeth?
All dogs start teething at around 3 months, losing their incisors first. They%26#039;ve got all their adult teeth between 7 - 8 months, getting their molars last. But they lose all of their teeth.





To help your puppy while he%26#039;s teething, make sure he%26#039;s got lots of toys of different textures to chew on. Also, if you take an old wash cloth, wet it, freeze it, then give it to him to chew on, he%26#039;ll find that very, very soothing for his sore gums.
Reply:I%26#039;m not sure... I would call your Vet and ask, just to be safe.








please answer my question?!?





http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:yea that%26#039;s totally normal that suppose 2 happen so he can get his adult teeth(which are a little bigger)!
Reply:yes it%26#039;s normal, the permanent teeth push the baby teeth out when they start coming in. you should be able to feel the new teeth that are replacing the other, get a good quality rawhide bone for him to chew on.
Reply:ya its normal i hav a poodle too and it grew back.
Reply:Yep = Normal
Reply:Your dog is goiong to loose all of its teeth jusy like kids do. but i would wear shoes for a while b.c those little things hurt!

What do you do to feed a very old cat who is losing her teeth?

My 20 year old cat has lost most of her teeth on the top left hand side of her mouth. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this subject. She%26#039;s losing weight because it hurts her to eat but she seems to be in no pain otherwise. I am feeding her soft food and soft cat treats but I was thinking about seeing if she%26#039;ll drink Ensure. Any ideas? Thanks!

What do you do to feed a very old cat who is losing her teeth?
You%26#039;re doing the right thing, soft foods. At 20 years old, you must have done a great job at keeping her healthy.





I don%26#039;t think I would try Ensure, there is a %26quot;kitten glop%26quot; I found for orphaned kittens and older cats can eat it to.





INGREDIENTS:


1 lg. can evaporated milk (not Milnot)


2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not diet)


2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real)


1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)


1 pkg. Knox gelatin


1 egg yolk (beaten)


1 cup of liquid unflavored Pedialyte





INSTRUCTIONS:


Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise and syrup together well.


Bring 1 cup water to boil and mix in Knox gelatin; set aside.


Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.


Add gelatin and water to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well.


Pour into a freezer safe bowl or similar type of bowl with a cover and set in refrigerator.


We usually use Ice Cube Trays for our glop pudding. Pudding will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator.


Always warm pudding to room temperature (milk form) before feeding.


It is very rich in calcium, this pudding can be used as a supplement for kittens, sick cats and show cats to put on weight. Several Veterinarians have approved this recipe as being balanced and nutritious.
Reply:ask a vet!
Reply:Soft cat food
Reply:there is a milk supplement made for cats they sell it in petsmart maybe you can try that...good luck poor kitty
Reply:Poor Kitty, the humane thing to give it is eternal rest..Tough call but if you were it?
Reply:Soft food is the best you can do. Ensure has too much sugar, even the lactose free one will upset her stomach. You can always take baby beef and wateat down and wisk it to make a meaty shake for her. This happens commonly and you are doing what you can for her. Good luck.
Reply:You should consult the vet. Never give him human food though. It could be very bad for digestion.
Reply:Ya, I%26#039;m dealing with a 14 year old cat with the same problem. I%26#039;ve softened up canned food with the water from tinned tuna which she seems to like, and although I never gave it to her during her life, I%26#039;m now giving her cream because of the fat content and she needs the calories. I haven%26#039;t tried ensure, but that ought to help, maybe I%26#039;ll try that too. Anything to keep her happy.
Reply:ASK HER VET FIRST ON THAT. TRY TUNA AND SOFT CANNED FOODS . SHE CAN GUMM IT. MAYBE SHE HAS A SORE TOOTH IN THERE AND THAT IS CAUSING THE WEIGHT LOSS. TOOTHLESS CATS CAN EAT CANNED FOOD IF THERE IS NO SORE GUMS. HAVE HER VET LOOK IN THERE, :)
Reply:gerber?
Reply:My cat has cancer, no teeth. Fancy Feast grilled tuna in gravy stuck in a blender with some prescription a/d. Start at shred and add a little water, blend at liquify for about 6 minutes. Licks it right up!





If you blend a 3 can batch a little thick and store it in a glass jar in the fridge, you can microwave a little water and add it to a few tablespoons and use the hot water to thin it and heat it at the same time. Looks like a chocolate milkshake, smells like tuna.
Reply:Just call your local, Animal Hosp., %26amp; they can help you, with the most best foods %26amp; drinks, for your Cat.
Reply:She probably has hyperthyroidism and borderline kidney function also. Almost all cats that age do. Feeding a high quality canned cat food is a good idea. Ask the vet or order online either Felovite, or Nutracal. It is a flavored %26quot;gel%26quot; type stuff in a tube that can provide extra calories and vitamins.


Ensure not a great idea. She probably will not drink it and diarrhea can result, which could kill her.
Reply:Same thing you feed any cat if you understand feline nutrition - a good quality wet cat food.





Read this and you%26#039;ll know more about feeding a cat than most vets:

Reply:soft cat food. you don%26#039;t want to give a cat ensure.
Reply:BLENDER!!!!!
Reply:Pre chew her food for her
Reply:add water and make her food into a gruel, can also add some meat flavored baby food to keep her interested.
Reply:We had a cat who lived to be 22, but had no teeth. The vet said to feed her meat baby food, which she loved. Just make sure it has no garlic or onions.
Reply:Soft canned food, no people food not approved by a vet. Love this kitty. I had one that lived to be 21.

I have had many dreams of losing my teeth which have terrified me lol, not constantly in a row, but every now and again. What does this mean?

What does it mean if you constantly dream about losing some of your teeth?
well usually dreams of loose teeth, rotting teeth, or losing teeth have something to do with stress and anxiety.


It%26#039;s your subconcious%26#039; way of telling yourself that you are afraid you are losing control of a situation or that you are afraid that people are thinking less of you.
Reply:you%26#039;re going to get into a fight. better make sure they dont hit you in the face.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know, but that is awful!!
Reply:I think it means your fearful of something.
Reply:it%26#039;s means your obsessed with your teath
Reply:nothing? maybe you are just dreaming about losing your teeth. lol
Reply:Has it been some time since you%26#039;ve seen a dentist? You could be feeling guilty.
Reply:Very common dream. What it means I have no idea.


It is a strange sensation though.

Reply:Same thing happens to me too. I%26#039;m not sure what it means though.
Reply:I went through that period too. still happenes from time to time.


Still have my teeth though.
Reply:it means that you regret something that you%26#039;ve told someone or just said outloud. and i know this for a fact. i heard it from a dream therapist
Reply:you feel like you are outta control or loosing control someone in your life
Reply:Understand it means you are going to lose a friend.
Reply:Dreams about teeth usually represent an anxiety, I think teeth falling out means your worried about money, or will have a financial problem soon.
Reply:It mean%26#039;s about home trouble like yelling and stuff
Reply:the fear of failure or embarassment


also could mean that you said something that you probably shouldn%26#039;t have


its relatively common
Reply:My dream dictionary indicates that loose teeth are a warning of untrustworthy friends; if they fell out or you spit them out, it is a sign of a season of financial reverses.....
Reply:I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one with this dream. I asked a counselor friend of mine what my teeth-loss dreams meant, and she said it represents fear of losing something that is important to my everyday functioning but also about losing something that is important to me, appearance-wise. She said to examine my current anxieties and try to identify what I am afraid of losing or not keeping/maintaining. Hope this helps!
Reply:Means you have to stop eating sweeties! Seriously though I don%26#039;t know but it%26#039;s quite common - especially grinding which is horrible.
Reply:I have that same dream, repeatedly actually. I%26#039;m kinda phobic about my dental hygiene though so I think it%26#039;s just my fear of losing my teeth.According to an online dream dictionary, dreams of your teeth falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be found out. I think that%26#039;s a total crock of crap.
Reply:It could mean several things, one would have to know a little more about you to give you a proper interpretation. It could mean you%26#039;re feeling guilty or ashamed about something.
Reply:as far as i am aware it means that you are loosing friends.
Reply:It means that people are going to die that are close to you. It happened to me and i stumbled across a superstitious book and read it for myself. Then, out of nowhere 3 relatives died in my family months apart.
Reply:Theres a book in my house that give explanations of dreams and what they mean. Its really interesting.





Apparently when teeth are falling out in a dream or coming out easily means we are going through some form of a transformation e.g. from childhood to maturity or maturity to old age and helplessness.





If someone is anxious about teeth dropping out it suggests there is a fear about getting old and undesirable or maturing.








I hope for your sake it is not maturity into old age and helplessness haha =) Hope this helps.
Reply:I had similar dreams/nightmares and someone told me it meant illness or being struck by a serious illness, nothing happened at the time of my dreams, but six months later I was severely ill. After that I never had those dreams again, very strange.
Reply:it means anxiety,youre afraid somethings going to go wrong or youre worried about something...

When do puppies start losing their baby teeth?

I have a 6 month old shih tzu puppy. when will he start losing his teeth?

When do puppies start losing their baby teeth?
It doesnt exactly matter, he will swallow them or spit them out, they are not harmful to your dog, most people dont even notice when their puppy looses its teeth. I have a boxer/pitbull cross big yellow mutt, and i was lucky to find 3 of his teeth! they were soooo tiny, and i noticed the first two because he was chewing on nothing out of no where, and thought he ate something hje shouldnt have, when i took a look, it was his tooth!!!
Reply:He should have lost all of his deciduous (puupy, milk) teeth by now. If he has retained deciduous teeth these can be removed at the veterinarians when he is under anesthesia for his up coming neutering which should be done soon :)
Reply:Probably already has lost some. They usually swallow them and you wont even notice.
Reply:He probably has about a month ago already. They usually start losing baby teeth by 5 months. you usually don%26#039;t even notice when they do. Because new ones come in right under the old ones.
Reply:OMG MY BOYFRIEND IS GETTING ME A SHIH TZU!! sOO friggin cute mannn!
