Guest Richman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just how many teeth should a 5 1/2 year old male greyhound have? His dentist extracted twelve today. Poor Jack has very bad teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Greys can get along pretty well with very few (or no) teeth. I don't think it matters so much how many he has, but where they're located. If he has at least a couple opposable molars he can chew better than if he has none. Mine don't really chew their kibble anyway! I have put their kibble in the blender and whirled it into kibble dust after dentals and such. It works pretty good. greysmom Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripley488 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I adopted a retired stud dog back in 1999. He lost 21 teeth during his first & only dental. Motorcade had no problem with the missing teeth. He actually ate much better once they were removed because the pain in his mouth was gone. He was back on his kibble based diet the day after surgery with no problems Jennifer Watkins Shamrock Greyhound Placement Louisville, KY Quote Jennifer Watkins Shamrock Greyhound Placement, Louisville, KY Greyhound Festival of the Bluegrass -July 19-21, 2013 Holiday Inn/Hurstbourne, Louisville KY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
