Puppy teeth falling out - bloody root?

Just wondering if this is normal or not.





We have a 5 month old coonhound and his puppy teeth are starting to fall out. I've found a couple today (the first ones) but they are somewhat bloody at the root level.





Puppy is acting normal...eating, drinking, playing...but he's had a couple raw hides today (checked with our vet, he OK'ed it). Also, I checked his mouth...he doesn't have any glaring gaps...some nubby adult teeth, so it looks OK inside.





Is the bloody inside (for lack of a better word) of the teeth normal or should I be concerned?

Puppy teeth falling out - bloody root?
Yes, It may have come out before it was ready, but it won't hurt anything. Completely normal.





Arent you glad he's finally losing those puppy needle teeth!!!! I know I would be!
Reply:This is normal- he may have pulled it out chewing on something, it may have come out before the root totally dissolved. As long as he isn't experiencing any pain, don't worry about it. It's normal. Just avoid the really hard toys until his adult teeth start coming in.
Reply:I've found a few teeth over the years that had some blood on them. And your puppy seems fine, so doesn't sound like you need to worry.





One thing my puppies always appreciated was when I wet and old wash cloth, then froze it and gave it to them to chew on. Seemed to be soothing to sore gums. Also lots of toys of different textures to chew on while he's teething will be appreciated by him.
Reply:it si nothing you know how kids teeth fall out well thats like dogs and so it will get better but it will hurt at first so you dont have to worry.
Reply:there's nothing to worry about it is normal for that to happen especially if he was chewing on some raw hides, that just means that the teeth were loose when he chewed on the raw hides. so it is normal for it to happen.
Reply:Its fine
Reply:everything is normal and yes you will see some blood at the base of the tooth. when he is about 1-1 1/2 yrs. old he will start loosing his puppy molars. if you find them on the floor they look like tooth caps,this is normal also.
Reply:He/She probably is teething and it is normal think about it our teeth fall out and we got new ones well that is the same as dogs so don't worry nothing is wrong! :)
Reply:this is normal, hes just loosing his baby teeth and it may be bloody from the raw hide bones. As long as he isnt in pain and is doing every thing else ok (eating, drinking, peeing, pooping) then he is fine
