Hi everyone, Our little Teddy is going to be neutered tomorrow. I have asked that they remove a hind dew claw and check his teeth. I noticed that his upper and lower canine adult teeth are coming in behind the 4 canine baby teeth. I believe those 4 are the only 4 baby teeth left.
Is this normal for 6 months? Should I have those baby teeth pulled while he's under anesthesia or will they fall out as the adult teeth come in further? I don't want to put him through unnecessary extractions but on the other hand I don't want to have another anesthesia down the road. What do you all suggest?
