vanillalove Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi all,Indie is almost 5 months right now and is really teething. He's already lost his puppy incisors and has his adults and now we are onto canines. In the past 2 days he has lost 3 canine teeth (only one left!) and I am noticing some slight discomfort. He showed some reluctance to eat his breakfast this morning and has been more cuddly/sleepy. Is this typical/related to teething?Let us know what you expect from this stage and what we can do to alleviate any pain he might be feeling. He seems like a big suck!

Smalahundur Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 A bit of a deja vu this (a torn nail topic not so long ago); I would do nothing, it is just teething, he´ll live... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oko Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yep, sleepiness/sluggish behavior is normal, they feel bad. Feist had a really bad couple days where she looked like a fright, complete with all her teeth falling out. I gave her edible nylabones and frozen carrots.

Oh I know he'll live, I'm not going to go crazy doing anything but just wanted to make sure his sleepiness/slightly off his food was related to teething and nothing to be excessively concerned about. On the flip side, I am soaking up this cuddly puppy behaviour while we have it. He's normally raring to go at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon's girl Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Don't be surprised if you are on the receiving end of a lot more chewing over the next month. Mine always seemed to really want to chew on me when they were working on their bicuspids. If your pup has prick ears, don't be surprised if they get a little soft and floppy either.

Smalahundur Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Oh, by the way, my Max is as old as yours, 5 months to the day. Haven´t noticed anything with his teething yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jescano Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Jinx is just barely over 5 months now, too. Just got all his new front teeth, I think he might have a couple molars left. He got sluggish and didn't want to play so much for a couple days. all back to normal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little was an understatement for Feist, they dropped all the way back down! I think this thread jinxed us and she's entering another teething period now.

vanillalove Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks all! I knew about the ears - his are doing all kinds of crazy things right now. Fun to watch. Other than the sluggishness the past few days, he seems to be well. He's trying his hardest not to chew on me or things he isn't supposed to. He redirects himself quite nicely. I think the worst of it is over. I think losing 3 canines in 48 hours was a little painful for him, but he seems to be in better spirits!
