So my little AmBull pup is 6 months old now and looks like she's finishing up getting in her adult teeth. She has one baby canine that is so far refusing to budge despite the adult canine being almost all the way in. Anybody have experience with this? How long did it take for your pup to finally lose it or for you to decide that surgery was necessary?
Kolt had a baby canine that didn't seem to budge unto the last possible minute. His adult tooth was pretty much all the way in before it was gone all of a sudden. He was about the same age. A couple of his siblings were the same way.
I'd give I another couple weeks then run it by your vet.

I breed Poms and this can be an issue with small breeds, deciduous teeth can cause malalignment of the adult teeth and even affect the bite permanently. If the canine in question is in completely and unaffected by the baby tooth, I would wiggle that baby tooth everyday, provide safe chewing options and even tug with the dog. If in a few weeks, the tooth hasn't loosened oe come out I would bring the dog in to pull it.
If the retained tooth is impacting the adult tooth and/or the dogs bite in general, I would want it pulled now before it can cause any more damage.

It's finally a bit loose and on it's way out. It just had me worried because it was in there so solidly before. I think it finally loosened when I grabbed a piece of cardboard from her.
