Hi! My 5 month old puppy has started developing permanent canines before his milk teeth canines have fallen. Will that cause dental problems to him in the future? What should we do?

Hi Mam..

Hi Mam..Retained decidious teeth can lead to abnormal positioning of permanent teeth. A decidious tooth for an adult dog can lead to oral diseases if it cannot fall out naturally. It can lead to overcrowding in teeth, it can also lead to food collection in the gap of the teeth, Gingivitis, Periodontitis.

Kindly make sure to brush your pet”s teeth regularly.You can wait for few more months..If it does not fall out naturally, you can get it extracted.

Hi!
A few days back I observed a small bald patch above one eye of my female lab and got her vet consulted. The vet overruled bacterial, fungal or any other infection. But I did observe another one today on one of her arm. This one is small too with no redness. She had itching issues but after the medicine prescribed by the vet it's better now. Any suggestions on what could be the underlying reason for bald patches would be relieving.1 likes•19 comments•139 views
