New teeth

Q: My dog is teething and the lower “fang” teeth have erupting adult teeth next to them and haven’t fallen out yet. It’s been about two/two and half weeks and the adult teeth seem to be pretty in-place while the puppy teeth haven’t moved yet. Not sure if these should have also fallen out by now?

A: How old is your puppy?  You can encourage loosening of the temporary teeth with tug o war games.  If you are planning to spay or neuter your puppy they can be removed if still present.  They are not causing a problem.
