Were my dog's teeth broken / damaged?

I found something on my dog%26#039;s bed. It%26#039;s hard to describe. It%26#039;s triangular in shape with three small teeth on it and a hole in the middle. There was blood on the other side. I checked her mouth and it definitely dropped out from her mouth (upper left side near the back). Is her teeth broken or damaged, or are dogs%26#039; baby teeth like this?

I have never seen 3 teeth on a plate. i would certainly give her vet a call..Yes, losing baby teeth is absolutely normal, but the fashion in which she lost them, may indicate an oral anomaly..
Reply:Yes, it is just the baby tooth falling out, it is normal for puppy teeth to fall out like that, so you have nothing to worry about.
Reply:My dog lost a baby tooth chomping on her crate when she was getting used to it. The vet assured me I had nothing to worry about, though I did take her to the vet to have her checked out.





A $40 office visit to say %26quot;it%26#039;s nothing%26quot; was worth my peace of mind.
Reply:depending on the age of your dog (under3 months)then it is the baby teeth any older then go to the vet
Reply:Dogs start to lose teeth between 3-6 months of age... if your dog is in this age range, its likely a baby tooth. If your dog is any older than this, get it checked out by your vet... as someone said, the exam fee may be worth the peace of mind.
Reply:It could all be one tooth - is it from near the back? Their back teeth are sometimes very long looking - kinda like ours are different back there. Is she is pain or bleeding? If neither she probably just lost a baby tooth, I%26#039;d guess.





You could ask where you got the puppy, too, show them the thing you found, that might help.
Reply:It%26#039;s probably just a baby tooth. The whole in the center and the trouble you%26#039;re having in identifying it as a tooth is likely from the tooth partially resorbing (dissolving) as your puppies adult teeth pushed the baby tooth out of the bone/gum.





However, it%26#039;s probably a good idea to take her in to get it looked at if you notice any irregular bleeding or swelling in the area or just if you%26#039;re intuition tells you to. Also, when s/he%26#039;s old enough to be spayed, the vet should take that opportunity to look at your puppy%26#039;s baby teeth to see if any should be pulled while he/she is under anesthesia.
