Is this normal for a puppy?

Sorsha · 09-10-2006, 08:46 PM

I have a puppy who is about 5 months old. I found 3 of her teeth on the floor since yesturday. Is it normal to loose that many teeth within 2 days? Is it possible that her food is too hard or she's chewing on the wrong toys? She has one of those spikey nyla bones that she likes to chew on.

It's been a long time since I've had a puppy, so I don't remember how often they loose their teeth.

Thank you.

It's normal. They wouldn't come out from chewing if they were not already loose and ready.

Completely normal. Your pup is hitting the stage when she be loosing them a lot. Once all the front small front ones have fallen out, the canines and molars usually are lost at a slower pace.

Ah. It was a canine and two molars that come out recently. But I guess that's still normal then?
