Give it some more time. If it doesn't fall out ask your vet about it. Sometimes they do need to remove the teeth if it's causing or has the potential to cause problems. It can be done when your little guy is neutered if it doesn't fall out on it's own by then. My youngest cat had to have one of her baby teeth pulled when she got spayed. It's a pretty common thing. Good luck!

Give it more time. It may take another month or so for it to fall out. My puppy had all of his adult teeth in, except one. His last baby tooth fell about about 3 weeks later. Sometimes an adult tooth will come in before the baby tooth falls out. It looks kind of weird, a big tooth with a little baby tooth beside it; but it's nothing to worry about. It'll fall out eventually.

I also have a chihuahua & one of her baby teeth did not fall out. When I took her to be spayed they pulled her tooth. That way they only had to put her to sleep once. The vet told me if it wasn't pulled it could cause problems in the long run. Good Luck and take your little man to the vet.

If they don't get pulled, yes they will cause problems. Not only will they affect the bite because of the awful over-crowding, that dog's going to need a lot of dentals throughout its life because you won't be able to keep the teeth/gums clean and healthy. Vets recommend getting retained baby teeth pulled when the dog/s spayed/neutered. That way they only need one anesthetic and the cost is much cheaper.

he has just recently got his adult teeth. If it is a eye tooth or a vang, as the adaut tooth comes in it will push it out. Buy him a soup boan at the supermarket to give him something to chew on. If the tooth doesn't come out by the time the pup is one year old, have the vet check it out.

It has been my experience that when you spay or neuter your dog at 6 months old, if the adult canine teeth are in and the baby canines remain, they should be extracted. I would certainly discuss this with your vet.

It is about time for you puppy to get a booster vaccine and a mid year check up. Have the vet take a look and see what he says.

i'm going to assume its a fang tooth..... give it a few weeks feed her the normal hard food it might fall out on its own... if not your vet will need to pull it.
