dog teeth
Question: A couple of questions about dog teeth. I was googling earlier trying to find pictures of what dogs teeth look like or should look like at different ages. Anyone know of good dog dental sites? The reason I am looking is to help guess at the age of my newest foster/now family member Simon. The vet said he has an overbite so he is harder to guess at about his age because they may not have ground down like a dog with "regular" bite. He guessed 1 1/2 - 2 years old. Simon's overbite is in the back, the molar area. His front teeth have an underbite, his lower teeth are in front of his upper ones kinda like a bulldog. In the molar area, his top teeth don't meet or just just pass the lower, they are jutted out about 1/8- 1/4 inch. Poor Rudy and Delaney, I got them down to compare theirs with what I just saw on Simon He doesn't like the bigger dog treats, the ones that take chewing, like the other dogs do. I wish I knew how old he was, he acts like he is a pup, 8 or 9 months old, but his teeth look more grown-in like one that is older than that. Thanks, Diane Answer: I tried looking this week for that exact thing (somebody asked how to tell a dog's age) and I couldn't find one set of pics on that topic. It's really aggravating. Sorry. Answer: I can post this one of Jemma's molars at about 3 years old (even though it's not too clear). Answer: And of course, the front... Answer: I knew that picture was coming... Answer: I know, I'm predictable. But after searching the other day, teethy pics are quite rare... Answer: lol thanks Prin, lol Answer: Well if there aren't any pics on the net why doesn't someone start a thread in the pic forum titled "teeth" or something? Most of us have dogs, most of us know their ages, right? The plan is infallable! (and Prin, yet another opportunity to post your pic! ) Answer: But who else has pics? I haven't seen that many pics focused on teeth... I think I'll start a thread... (Unless somebody else gets there first...) Answer: LOL, I read this thread after the other one... I have to say I was a tad consused as to what lead to its creation. But it all makes sense now Answer: LOL... Yes... I created a thread in the pic forum, in case other people are confused too... It's here: Teeth for the Ages So that we can have a sort of "database" of teeth at different ages because it's really hard to find some on the net.. Answer: Ok I've added mine now too. It should be an interesting (and educational ) thread! Answer: at what age do teeth start falling out, due to old age? Answer: Originally Posted by Prin But who else has pics?

I'm trying to get some pics of Jesse's teeth, but it seems all I can get is pics of her tongue! She's a lover... Answer: Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
