Our 5 month old pup has little stubs where his lower canines used to be. Vet says he has broken them off. If in another month or so, they are not pushed out with his adult teeth coming in, he recommended having them removed. I am concerned about waiting too long to remove them. I don't want any damage to his normal bite alignment. Any ideas? Advice?
When I was working as a vet tech, I saw a few pups around 6mo. old come in with their adult canines behind or in front their puppy canines and we had to pull the puppy teeth. They stuck around becuase their roots were extremely long, but the vet says your dogs have completely broken off so I also wonder if the root will be pushed out or if it will stay inside and cause problems? I doubt if the alignment of his adult teeth will be compromised though. They seem to have a much stronger growth shown by the way they push the puppy canines aside.

I am hoping that they will be pushed out when his adult canines come in but like I said, I don't want to wait too long. It looks to me like his adult teeth are coming in on the side of the stubs.
