4Month old Lhasa apso (teeth)?

Okay when i first got my Lhasa apso Roxy at 3 months,She would bite everything.My dad, My bed, everything.but now at 4 months she's stopped biting us..And i can tell her teeth stopped hurting her because she doesnt get stressed out and runn around like she use to.


I looked at her teeth and her front teeth Are really small and some are shorter then the others.she has sharp teeth to the side.and in the back (her molers) arereally small.


Are those her baby teeth? or what?


And if they are when does she start loosing them and start Getting her adult?





What do the adult teeth look like.exactly? are they bigger..or? what?

She bites and chews because she's teething, something you seem to already be aware of.





Yes, what you are seeing are in fact deciduous (baby) teeth. Baby teeth are generally smaller and sharper, whereas the adult teeth are bigger and slightly more blunt. You may or may not notice her losing her baby teeth in between 4 and 6 months of age. Lots of puppies simply swallow their baby teeth as they fall out -- this is normal. Give her plenty of toys and an occasional rawhide to help along this process.





Also, if you notice she has any retained puppy teeth by the time she's 6 months old, you can always have them pulled at the time she is spayed.





Hope that helped.

my dog [shihtzu] was the same =] YES at 6 months there already about full grown

Reply:I have a lhasa too! look at my pic, but yea she lost her baby teeth at about 7 months. and they are a little bit bigger, and look pretty much the same!
Reply:Baby teeth are very small and pointy. Adult teeth are longer, thicker, and duller.





At 4 months, she may have begun losing baby teeth, but it's doubtful she has her adult set in yet. They do it gradually, you might not even notice except a tooth or two lying on the floor.
Reply:Like humans, dogs have two sets of teeth in their lives. The 28 baby teeth erupt through the gums between the third and sixth weeks of age. Puppies do not have to grind much food, so they do not have molars. Puppy teeth begin to shed and be replaced by permanent adult teeth at about four months of age. Although there is some variation in breeds, most adult dogs have 42 teeth, with the molars coming last, at about six or seven months. The adult teeth generally do appear larger in size and more "solid" in structure compared to the puppy teeth due to the fact that the puppy teeth will be starting to decay and look more "hollow" before they fall out. The gums will also appear more inflamed and pink/red around the new teeth coming in.
Reply:i have a 11 month old shih tzu. those are your dogs baby teeth. he/she will start to get her adult teeth anytime between now and when shes 6 months. the look the same. i didnt even notice my dog got his adult teeth until the vet told me. they look almost similar, just a little bigger. but there still somewhat small and sharp. hope this helps.
Reply:Pups usually teeth between 4 and 7 months. They do look odd for a while with different sized teeth but so do primary school kids!!





Make sure you give her plenty of raw meaty bones to help keep those new teeth glossy and massage sore gums. Periodontal disease often sets in at this age so it is best to prevent it now rather than treat it later.
