My 4 months old Golden Retriever has started losing her teeth. Very little blood drops i can notice on her gums. Is this normal? What can i give her to soothe her pain?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
At this age the milk teeth will fall and then permanent teeth will start to erupt U can apply ice cubes on the gums
Dr. Anukarna Singh
Similar to us, canines also have a set of deciduous/ milk teeth which falls and are replaced by their permanent teeth. This process starts at 4-5 months of age and completes at around 8 months. You might see your puppy teething excessively at this point. You can use puppy grade toys or carrots and cucumbers (you can also keep it in the freezer for some time before you give it, this will help to reduce inflammation) to help reduce the discomfort.

We can give carrots kept in freezer. Won't they catch cold .... many told not to give food direct from fridge
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Keep the carrots outside for 10-15 min after that u can give them to the pet

My 1½ years aged, weight 15-18 KG male Indian breed pet dog's hind legs have become too weak to walk and even can't balance it for last 2 days. As he is unable to put his full weight in the legs, he can't even have his food by his own. Hiccups are being repeated continuously.
So, we are not able to understand what has happened to him suddenly! So requesting you to please tell what should we do and if possible please prescribe the medicines too.1 likes•64 views

I know that golden retrievers are bred in India with a tolerance for heat, unlike the original which stays only in cold climates. However, can I assume that my golden retriever puppy has a higher cold tolerance? I see that he loves to sleep in the floor but sometimes I also see him sleeping like this, trying to be all tucked in. Should I get him a bed? Could he be feeling cold? The reason I haven’t bought one for him is because he chews on everything, including metal. If I gave him something with a mattress, I’m positive he might end up pulling out the cotton etc in a couple of days. I know there are some anti-chew beds on the market, but my question here is that whether I should look for something that keeps him warm or cool…3 comments•139 views
