Nami is losing another tooth
posted by swampgirl 8 months 3 weeks ago • 688 views

Poor girl.  My dog Nami is losing yet another tooth.  She one of 3 dogs we have.  (you all know Sam)

I don't know how old she is, but I got her 10 years ago and she was an adult then.   Her back molar is so loose I could pull it easily.  Should I do it or let her take care of it?  

This picture of her is a year old

Well, if you do it, you're gonna fell guilty that you hurt her, but at least she wont choke on it...

Aww. Otherwise she's ok?

I always heard dogs will either swallow or spit out lost teeth...never heard of one choking from that, anyway.

Guess she'll be gumming the kibble soon.

(she's pretty healthy for a dog I'm guessing is close to 13 yrs old)

You'll just get to spoil her more...soft foods and such.

If you really love her, you'll pre-chew her food for her.

She'll knock it loose on her own, when we first got our Puppy, I freaked out a little when I saw her gnawing on one of her molars that fell out. But if I were you I would just punch her in the face and knock the rest of the teeth loose.

I once gave my puppy a T-bone from a steak for him to chew on. He swallowed it whole. My girlfriend insisted that we take him to the vet; they x-rayed him and sure enough, there was a huge T-bone inside him almost as big as he was. The vet said no problem, their digestive acids can handle it fine, and it never caused any issues. So one puny tooth shouldn't cause any trouble.

I still remember losing my kiddie teeth -- it was an agonizing decision whether to rip them out or let them dangle and wobble them around with my tongue. I'm sure old Nami is enjoying the rattle.

In another note, what the hell is that furry-looking thing on the chair in the background?!?

My Pomeranian started the California wildfires. (Top that!)

Snarf. Snarf. You don't like the couch kitty? Snarf. Maybe Lion-o will punch you in the whiskers, snarf.

@arvana: Haven't you ever heard of Fureal Friends? It's a fake cat. My daughter has a few since she's allergic to cats.

She still has the tooth.. it's hanging on (gross)

It must be the moving. Sam has had a fever since last night and he was shaking like he was hurting
