Chihuahua has his adult teeth, one baby tooth failed to fall out. Is this a health issue?

He is 7 months old and is healthy but I wondered whether I need to have this tooth pulled or if its okay to stay where it is.

Give it some more time. If it doesn't fall out ask your vet about it. Sometimes they do need to remove the teeth if it's causing or has the potential to cause problems. It can be done when your little guy is neutered if it doesn't fall out on it's own by then. My youngest cat had to have one of her baby teeth pulled when she got spayed. It's a pretty common thing. Good luck!
Reply:Give it more time. It may take another month or so for it to fall out. My puppy had all of his adult teeth in, except one. His last baby tooth fell about about 3 weeks later. Sometimes an adult tooth will come in before the baby tooth falls out. It looks kind of weird, a big tooth with a little baby tooth beside it; but it's nothing to worry about. It'll fall out eventually.
Reply:i'm going to assume its a fang tooth..... give it a few weeks feed her the normal hard food it might fall out on its own... if not your vet will need to pull it.
Reply:no i do not think has anything to do with his health but what you should do is take it to the vet and ask them what is wrong.
Reply:It is about time for you puppy to get a booster vaccine and a mid year check up. Have the vet take a look and see what he says.
Reply:no it's not we have a chiuaua and it still has some of his babby teeth and he is full grone
Reply:my min pin had the same thing happen, his two fangs (top) were in , %26amp; the baby fangs were right behind the adult ones, he looked very funny, but i looked one day %26amp; they were gone, had no problems.
Reply:he has just recently got his adult teeth. If it is a eye tooth or a vang, as the adaut tooth comes in it will push it out. Buy him a soup boan at the supermarket to give him something to chew on. If the tooth doesn't come out by the time the pup is one year old, have the vet check it out.
Reply:no because there is no specific time that says he has to get them.
Reply:most likely its a moler the main food crunching tooth. these take a month or two longer to fall out than the others.(dont give ur dogs hot food makes their teeth fall out)
Reply:It has been my experience that when you spay or neuter your dog at 6 months old, if the adult canine teeth are in and the baby canines remain, they should be extracted. I would certainly discuss this with your vet.
Reply:I also have a chihuahua %26amp; one of her baby teeth did not fall out. When I took her to be spayed they pulled her tooth. That way they only had to put her to sleep once. The vet told me if it wasn't pulled it could cause problems in the long run. Good Luck and take your little man to the vet.
Reply:PULL IT!!!





It'll ROT **%26amp;** cause problems w/the spacing of the adult teeth!!!
