Teething in puppies

[lefteris]

Hey 2 all,

been a while since i wrote something here.

I got a fem pup, she is 6 months now and she have a bit of overbite but not to much. Front teeth are almost in correct position but the bottom canines aren't in place.

I have already contacted vet and he told me to wait for her to grow a bit more. I saw on internet people telling that you should wait because the jaws might get bigger but they were talking for GSDs can this happen to our dogs also or should i insist on adding some appliance to help the teeth in position?

Thanks

It depends on the actual malocclusion? Without even a photo it would be impossible to say but perhaps you should visit a specialty veterinary dentist.

What do you mean the bottom canines 'aren't in place'? Do you mean mispositioned or not erupted yet or?

You are right i ll show you a photo i took a week ago. (there seem to be a bit of progress but again the canine on fully in place)



I talked with a dentist (not many Vet Dentists in greece) and he told me to wait a bit more. I am just wondering if anyone have seen it again on a puppy of that age.

Just an update in case someone wonders what happened, so there been 15 days since i noticed the teeth issues. Not yet the time for dentist but one of the canines is almost full in place then other one is still struggling to find his way.
