Kahn Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Our 5 mnth old Border Collie Layla has a green tooth :rolleyes: . It is her baby tooth which just has not fallen out and the big tooth has pushed through. It has been like this (green) for about a month. It is loose, I have wiggled it gently. Anyone else had this?

stormie Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) It's not unusual for dogs to retain their baby teeth, but they really should come out. Think a trip to the vet is in order; if its wobbly, they may even be able to whip it out in the consult, but either way, dead teeth are best removed...

Scarlet Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Get a bit of gauze or thin material. Grab the tooth. Push down, twist then pull. The tooth is hollow and probably stained from eating hence the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahn Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Good news - after having that awful green tooth for over a month it fell out this morning. We were playing tug of war with a teddy and I noticed quite a bit of blood. I thought Layla had bit her tongue but couldnt find anything. I gave her some water to get rid of all the blood around her mouth and still couldnt find a cut and then I noticed the absence of the green tooth. Yay. Only thing is I wish I could find the green tooth but it is not on the rug anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
