Does anyone have any experience of this?
Pup we are due to collect has had this highlighted.

Wondering if anyone can shed light on costs of removal of puppy teeth and whether ball therapy was successful for adult teeth?

Waiting to hear from our vets but need to decide whether we are still taking pup.

We are so gutted there is an issue.

Bumping this for the evening crowd.

I have very limited experience of this but in the two instances I was aware of the teeth had to be removed at quite a young age so as not to effect the adult teeth. I think also there was some palate damage as well . They surgery was successful in both cases.

You could have issues with the insurance as it may count as a pre existing condition. If the puppy comes with insurance from the breeders you may have to stick with this cover or it is common for the breeders to cover the costs.

Also you should not breed from the puppy but hopefully that is not an issue.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but my puppy (now 4 months) has an overbite.

His lower canines are not touching the roof of his mouth and he is not in any discomfort so, for the time being, we are just waiting and observing (he still has his baby teeth.) There is a chance that he will need to have his adult lower canines removed if they start to cause issues.

My vet seemed reassuringly relaxed about it so I haven't been too worried.
