    Muffin may need braces for her teeth (if there is such a thing)!



    Muffin's lower front teeth are so crooked.. Since Mocha & Missy's teeth are straight, and I've never seen pictures of any other crooked-teeth dogs, I wonder if this is normal, or it's something I should worry about.





    Thanks ~Jessie~

    Looks like retained baby teeth.. Have you asked your vet?

    Not yet. Do you think I should? I'll take her in if it is necessary. At what point should all her baby teeth fall out?





    Thanks ~Jessie~

    Front teeth have changed over totally by 5 months old. Especially a toy breed- if not before...

    Yep, that's what I thought, too. Many toy breeds, especially chihuahuas, retain their baby teeth and need them surgically removed. It's pretty routine and I would definitely give the vet a call.

    If you check the recent posts, I believe Mr. Chiwawa just had Mister in to have his removed.

    Its not to serious they might have you wait alittle longer to see if they fall out on there own, we had a pomeranian and she had the same problem and he waiting a yr until she needed to be seen about it.
