My puppy is four and half months old and tonight I was playing catch with her. Well I had a blanket on me cause she was just going nuts and trying to bite me and when I looked there was blood on my blanket. I looked at her mouth and there was two holes were her teeth are suppose to be. Is that normal? Should I take her to a vet?

Awww, she lost two of her puppy teeth. :-) It's perfectly normal. Puppies will lose all 28 their baby or deciduous teeth and they will be replaced by 42 new teeth. If you're lucky, you might even find one or two, but generally they will be swallowed with no harm done to the dog. I was lucky to find four of my pup's teeth on the floor.

At 4 1/2 months your puppy is starting to lose her baby teeth. Just like you did when you were little. Adult teeth are waiting underneath to grow in .

She probably bit the blanket or the ball or whatever she was biting and no that is not normal to bleed... if it is bad , then yes take her to the vet but it is bleeding most likely because she's a young puppy and her gums are sensitive but check if she didnt break a tooth or make it loose...it would be good to be worried.. your a good owner =)

Yes it is normal for dogs to loose their baby teeth,,, after they loose them they will grow in there adult teeth... you will know when she does cause when she nibbles on your hands then they are not as sharp as the puppy teeth I hope this helps and good luck with you puppy,,, treasure it while it last cause they only stay little once

losing puppy teeth. Try to refrain from playing any kind of rough puppy tug with her for awhile. Just until she gets her replacement teeth. Play fetch instead. She will enjoy it just as much,

~*it sounds like baby teeth yea, nothing to worry about give her some water that will help with the bleeding .and would not be a bad Idea to get her a soft toy for her to chew on helps the pain when her new teeth come in.~*

It is completely normal or her to lose her baby teeth. You will find them stuck in the carpet or even in her food bowl. There is no need to take her to a vet unless there is excessive bleeding, or she gets swollen painful gums.
