puppies k9 teeth

[lou_tally]

My 5 month old Jack Russell lost a k9 tooth last night and the other has cracked i presume they are supposed to do that?
Iam wooried because i was playing with her and the tooth fell out with a little bit of blood.

Don't be worried this is perfectly natural.

Make sure she has plenty of things to chew on to help the baby teeth come out and the adult ones come through. Some people find carrots out of the fridge (so they are cold) are good to give them to chew.

You could keep the tooth as a keepsake!

By the way you don't always find the tooth, they have a tendancy to eat them - very fast!

Hi lou_tally. Hope your pup is well :)

When I got my Collie, teething was the last thing I had considered, and actually we only found a little blood on one of his toys, and a couple of teeth on the floor! As kita1 says, they often get swallowed up with puppy's food.
Jack liked rawhide chews out of the freezer-like a baby's soother, it helps for them to have something to suck/chew on.
As kita1 also mentioned, it's nice to have one as a keepsake too if you can find any more!
Teething is quite a short process for dogs normally I think-we blinked and pretty much missed Jack's!
