I didnt think that happened this early???? Someone help reassure me it's okay!!!!! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-02T16:53:27.000Z How old is she again? Niko had almost all of hers gone by 6 months. ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-02T16:54:55.000Z JUST 5months. It was one of the long ones. (k9's?) ## _dlroberts · 2008-10-02T17:18:21.000Z Yep. That's exactly the right time. Her full set of adult teethe will be in between 6 and 7 months. ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-02T18:08:39.000Z omg. I was so worried. I guess the hubby said she was out playing in the yard with him. She wa chasing the football and she yelped. I've never seen a pups tooth come out before. I looks like it BROKE off. I mean....lol....there's no ROOT?! Whew! I was soooo worried. When I went home for lunch I felt so bad for her I gave her some banana for a treat! lol ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-10-02T18:58:42.000Z Miko pooped out one of her molars a while back. It can be a little freaky but normal. Although I was told full set should be in by 6-9 months. ## AkiraleShiba · 2008-10-02T18:59:36.000Z Give her ice cubes and iced towels to chew on, Akira loved it when he was theeting it soothes them. ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-02T19:24:15.000Z Niko loved chewing on the frozen wash clothes. ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-10-03T00:19:49.000Z lol That's too cute :) I would've freaked too! ~ ## lindsayt · 2008-10-03T03:18:05.000Z Sometimes puppy teeth can break off before they are supposed to shed and leave a retained root. If she did that during rough play, it should be pushed out when the new tooth comes in or the vet can check it when she's spayed. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-10-03T06:49:26.000Z Kuma was an early tooth popper. He started at about 4 months and had everything changed a bit before 6 months. ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-03T11:36:08.000Z Thanks guys! I think she lost the bottom tooth on the same side last night. Poor pup! hahaha (poor pup my foot! Everytime I think she's lost one I give her more banana or carrot! Honey's probably figured this out will naw on something to make the rest of her baby teeth come out! hahah) ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-10-03T12:22:48.000Z Watch, you are going to walk in and she will have a string tied to a door knob and her teeth... ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-03T12:50:01.000Z LMAO! Thanks Jess! I SOOOO needed that laugh right now. I'm at work and the Boss is being pretty unreasonable. Bummin me out ya know? That was RIGHT on time!!!!! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-03T12:50:30.000Z When Niko got spayed they checked to make sure that there were no impacted teeth and pulled out the rest of her "baby" teeth. Come to find out they ended up pulling out an adult tooth and never told us and we didnt realize until it was too late. : ( ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-03T12:52:07.000Z Oh my!!! Poor Niko!!! :( ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-03T12:55:44.000Z My poor defective puppy, missing tooth and scars on her nose...no one can tell me that she is theirs! ## cas12 · 2008-10-03T17:49:52.000Z ozzy lost two this week looks a bit gummy at the mo ## lindsayt · 2008-10-04T06:46:39.000Z That's crappy they accidentally yanked her adult tooth. ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-04T10:25:32.000Z I hate it and there is no way I can do anything about it now. Thank goodness I never wanted to show her! ## Honey's mom · 2008-10-06T00:52:40.000Z Poor Honey!!! She's loosing teeth left and right!!! She seems to be in so much pain too! :( I've tried the frozen cloth thing and she didnt go for it. So I gave her carrots and apples and that seemed to get her through the last tooth coming out. At one point she was scratching at her teeth. It had me SOOO worried!!! Once she got this last one out she seemed to be okay. How long does this take??? omg. I dont think I can take a month of this! lol She DID seem to cuddle a bit more today. The more I worried about her the more she would come up to me and snuggle. ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-10-06T15:07:24.000Z She'll make it! Just keep giving her love :) [ & treats ;) ]~ ## sunyata · 2008-10-06T18:43:26.000Z Nola has started dropping teeth, too. I tried to take a picture of the snaggle tooth last night, only one came out okay. I will have to post it when I get home from work. I gave her a frozen peanut butter kong when I went home for lunch. That seemed to take her mind off the pain for a bit. Although, I admit, I too am enjoying the cuddles of the teething Shiba. :) She is so sweet when she is sleeping or in pain. (How horrible am I?) ## sunyata · 2008-10-06T20:17:24.000Z Alrighty, I have the picture of the poor toothless Nola. (Sorry if it grosses anyone out...) And a picture of her after a tasty ice-cube in her crate. Please pay no mind to the hole in the dry-wall behind her... :-/ ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-10-06T20:22:03.000Z Nola is so striking! ## sunyata · 2008-10-06T20:24:30.000Z Aww! Thanks, LJ. Even with her gummy mouth??? ;-) ## MommyofNiko · 2008-10-06T20:34:58.000Z I love the gummy mouth and the puppy teeth!! She is too cute! ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-10-06T20:38:02.000Z Even with the gummy mouth! ## baanton · 2008-10-07T10:10:16.000Z Cutie -- best of luck with the teething experience. Funny thing, I don't remember this part of Josephine's puppy life (nor Joe, our former dog). This too, shall pass, and be forgotten by dog and human? I'm assuming the dry wall hole was developed with the baby teeth? Good news is that the puppy chewing of everything in sight passes,too, eventually! (Well, I will admit I did find some strange chewed items in the middle of the living room floor when I got up -- aluminum foil was involved --- hummm... who could have done that!) ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-07T11:16:01.000Z Yeah I have a hard time remembering with Tsuki and it was only like 6 months ago?! It happened so fast and then bam, big snarly adult teeth! Bev is 100% right, this too shall pass and it will pass quickly! Enjoy the snuggles now! Next comes ADOLESCENCE!!! Nola is BEAUTIFUL!!!! We NEED more Bella/Nola spam pronto! --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
