Beagle Puppy Teeth

Question

Puppy Teeth 07/11/2008 We have a 5 month old Beagle that in the last 2 days has lost 3 teeth. I know that puppies do loose their "baby" teeth about this age, but is it common for them to loose so many in a short amount of time. Also the teeth look some what jagged on the bottom, almost as if they broke off.

Thanks

Answer
Aaron -

This is the appropriate time for a puppy to be losing his baby teeth. Usually, by the time a puppy is six months old, all the adult teeth have erupted. The teeth look properly normal. thanks for the picture.
