Good morning!
My yorkie is 7 months old and has both sets of teeth out for her canines. ( the 2 big bottom ones) Do I have to get the baby ones taken out and HOW do I know the difference so I do NOT pull out the wrong ones?
:eek:

Have the vet tech at your local animal hospital do it. Telling the difference is not something you want to try to do yourself, particularly in a small breed. If they don't come out by themselves soon, make an appointment.

OMG! You don't pull them out, the vet does and only if it's necessary.

Go to the vet!

Is she spayed? They usually do it then.
Chances are you will need to get her put out in order for them to be removed. By 7 months, they won't be falling out by themselves. And canine teeth have large roots so you need to ensure it doesn't break off. Do NOT pull them out yourself.
