Thankfully, I haven't had to experience it, but yes, it is pretty common among chis. Whish is why a lot of people decided to try to do a spay/neuter and a teeth extraction under the same anesthesia...saves money and only a one time danger.... Marsha

My 7 month old Chi, Cricket still has all four (2 upper and 2 lower) baby canine teeth and the adult teeth are growing in next to them! All four of the baby teeth are not falling out and not even loose. I asked the vet and he said they will have to be pulled. It is going to cost between $180 and $450, depending on the sedation/anesthesia used! The vet said this is a common problem in the smaller dogs. I had no idea. Any thoughts?
