Thanks for the confidence Chris... lol. DD, has your dog been spayed or neutered yet? If not, I would schedule that and let the vet know that there are retained baby teeth to be taken out at the same time. That way your chi will only have to go under the anesthetic once. He is old enough now. You definately want to have it taken care of before it causes problems (mess up his bite, become painful and stop eating). BTW, I just want everyone to know that I have worked as a vet tech, but I'm not certified yet. I'm seriously considering going to school for it when we get back to the states. However, 2 of the vets I worked for would not hire a certified tech b/c they like to train them themselves. Most docs run things their own way and don't like the techs to be set on doing things a particular way b/c that's what they learned in school. ~Lacey
