How can i tell how old she is

Question
I just bought my dog kharma from a lady in town and she told me that kharma is 4-5 months old. I have talked to other people i know with pit bulls and they have all said that she doesn't look like she is that old. kharma probably weighs 10 lbs. Is there any ways i can see how old she is or maybe send you a picture of kharma to you to look at?

Answer
I could try to guess...but that is all it would be- a guess.

To me, she does sound a little small to be that age. But it is possible. After all, she could have been the runt of the litter.

Probably the best way to get a good estimate on her age is to have the vet try to figure it out. He may be able to give you a well-educated guess based on how far along she is developmentally. Note I said "may"...I am not exactly sure how accurate a guess the vet would be able to give you either. Although, it would certainly be a better one than what I can give you! Ha!
