Is it a bad idea to give my puppy beef bones with baby teeth?

Full Question:
I have a 13 1/2 week old puppy that I feed a raw meat and bone diet to. For the last few days I would give her a raw, meaty shank bone to chew on while she?s in the expen. Just today I noticed two of her small front teeth missing and one is loose. It seems too early for her to be teething (but maybe not). Is it a bad idea to give her beef bones with baby teeth? And is there any potential problem with her teeth missing early? Thank you.

I have a puppy around the same age as yours and he's lost a couple of the little incisors as well. I don't think it's anything to worry about. They usually start losing their teeth between 14-16 weeks old, so a few days early isn't something I would be concerned about.
