Teething...

[Sybil76]

Being a new EB owner I have no clue about teething. Please help with any information!

@Sybil76 How old is your EB? My puppy started losing his teeth 4 months. And you will notice those little sharp things gone. Gracie's just fell out and one of Coopers was like stuck in his mouth. It was turning a really dark color and his tear stains showed up at that time too. I could tell it was hurting him because he laid around a lot and was mopey. My sister has her BSN and told me to give him some children tyenol so I did (1ml) and it seems to help him a little. I did read that sometimes the teeth get stuck and the vet has to pull them, so of course I took it upon myself and yanked the thing out. It didn't hurt him and I think he felt a lot better. am not telling you do this by any means lol My vet said I probably really didn't need to do it, it probably would have fallen out. My Cooper was very hyper and a biter up until around 4 months also. He has mellowed out so much and is just a really laid back bully now at almost 7 months. I know a lot of EB owners are against bones but I do give my bully bones. I just get bigger ones and watch hm and when they are to the point or close to the point where he can swallow it or if he gets a chunk off I take it away. He LOVES bones! People on here have suggested deer or elk antlers...I have not purchased those yet but I am planning on it. Is there any one thing you are wondering about teething??

[MENTION=4257]Sybil76[/MENTION] Yes I totally agree with [MENTION=4292]Cooper11[/MENTION] my Brutus was 4months when he started losing teeth! I was actually finding them around the house lol It sometimes is painful and you will notice them wanting to chew more on different things! I would freeze some of his toys and it seemed to help! You def should keep an eye on his teeth to ensure they aren't infected/injured! Sometimes puppy's can injure their teeth playing! Hope this helps!

Nylabones are great..you can get smaller ones to use while he is younger..I've heard of freezing wet rags and letting them chew on it..supervised, of course, helps a lot!

I guess I really need to keep an eye in her teeth. Tess is 4 months now. Thanks guys for the great info.

Elli has been losing her teeth now for a couple weeks and she is more than likely swallowing them like most dogs. She just is way more drooly and I let her gnaw on my fingers sometimes and it's dripping with drool. My sister gave Elli a piece of scrap leather since I don't have leather around being vegan. Elli loves it and spends hours chewing on it.

Is it weird that I didn't find 1 tooth anywhere and never saw any missing teeth in their mouths? I guess I never thought of it before, because there were never any problems...chewing things they shouldn't, but that's about it. Is that horrible that I didn't notice or find any?

[MENTION=322]AshleyWoodman[/MENTION] I haven't found any teeth either so no it's not weird.

Good advice above. You may find blood on various things too. That's a sign that they just lost a tooth. When Jack my non bully was at Petco last year for puppy play groups, one of the other pups there lost a tooth while the two were playing. Well Jack is nearly all white and he looked like he'd been in a fighting ring. I had them get my a rag so I could wash him down he was that red. I was lucky to have caught 5-6 teeth between Wilson and Jack. I saved them too.
