Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Okay, now our youngest four footed member is losing teeth. Can someone tell me if there is anything I can do for him? Payton doesn't appear to be uncomfortable but I know how these critters are: they just keep going unless it's really bad. Plus he needs new chew toys but we've been so busy with the basement renovation that he's been a bit neglected. The kids are enjoying keeping his teeth and exploring them. I'm hoping Sevi is still reading.......I went to cybercanine and didn't find anything there. I'm glad Butch has kept you here! Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 don't worry - he's not hurting and I don't think there's anything you can or need to do Ann - Scotland Okay, now our youngest four footed member is losing teeth.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Take a couple of terry cloth dish towels and wet them and ring them out. Then put them in the freezer. When they are frozen take one of them out and give it to the pup!! keep on doing this until his teething is over....

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thank you everyone that responded! Payton wound up losing four teeth. For the life of me though I am rolling on the ground at how hard the kids are trying to get Payton to hold still so they can look in his mouth!! That is not happening. I must say though that what I read about Labs being wonderful with kids is absolutely true. The kids have pulled his mouth open as gently as a 7 and 9 year old could and taken away things they thought he should not be chewing on (like their toys) and generally being a real pain (if I were a dog I would think so) but he has not once growled or otherwise shown aggressiveness toward them and he is now 6 1/2 months old. Payton loved the ice cubes and the carrots. The cold wet cloth was actually helpful too - we are working on the basement and the contractor really wanted us to keep the liquid nails warm so it would stay pliable. Therefore we have the heat up a bit in the house which means both the dog and the cat (don't ask...they get along like...well, cats and dogs!) have been a little on the thirsty side just like us. Right now the kids have had fun lining up the teeth where they should go in the dog's mouth but also to create 'mountains' in their geography lesson. LOL!!! Sevi, I did a search for books ... did you write a book that I found??? Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
