bitey side-effects... (bitey saga part 2)

[momosmum]

Hello again all,
Thanks again for the reassurance regarding the whole pirhana pup problem, as I said, it was great to hear others' experiences and thoughts.

However, Momo seems to have chipped a tooth! I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I was checking out her mouth tonight (about as much fun as giving a shark a check-up) and noticed that her front canine is a bit shorter. Is this really really bad?! It's her baby tooth, but can she have done permanent damage?

I sound like a terrible owner, I know, but it's not like we're giving her a Kong stuffed with rocks to chew...She has a fetish for chomping on really inappropriate things, like stones and bits of concrete, metal lead clips, table legs and my OH's free weights (aren't they made of iron?!) 

Bah. She is a horrendous cutie, though - we went out for her first walk on Sunday in Battersea Park and she loved it! She also didn't mind being the centre of attention, either.

Not sure that the baby tooth will matter unless it is causing discomfort or pain cos it will drop out in the end.  I guess your vet should be able to tell you what to watch out for -  I know what you mean about the stones and other things- Dax chomps on our stone step if I don't watch him - I think its something to do with the teething  I've bought several nylonbones and keys for him to chomp on - he really likes it when we hold them so he can bite, bite, bite hard on them for ages without them slipping away from him -  Your pup sounds like he has lots of character even though he is going through the piranha stage at the moment    They certainly keep us on our toes
