Another teething question...

Cinnamon Boxers · I Can't Stop Typing

Hello Patricia,

Most dogs should have all of their adult teeth by 6 to 7 months. The molars are the last to come in. At 7 months, it's very possible these the last teeth are coming thru.

I honestly have not dealt with tear staining so will leave this to someone who can give the answers. I do know there are many reasons it occurs. IE: Blocked tear ducts, diet, irritants in the air causing excess tearing, ear infections. I know it does occur in the fawns and brindles also but it's not as noticable.

Most dogs have tear stains. White dogs just show up more than others :)
Sometimes it has to do with the food that is fed. Dyes, etc. But I have seen even that not be a factor.

Teething..............they usually never stop truly teething. However, Phylis is right. It is not uncommon for a 7 month old to still be chewing everything in sight. My Brandi just turned 2 years old. She still loves a good chewing session now and again :)

So, Mr. Frazier is in fact getting his molars....Had Dr. Borys take a peek-one sides in, the other still has baby teeth.

He also had a bit of "yuck" in his right ear...So, I am treating the ear and 1/2 the teeth are in, so I hope his eye drainage clears up again when these things clear up.

It's real interesting how much pups are like babies---runny eyes, ear infections etc. while teething.
