"My Chihuahua Had a Leftover Baby Tooth Extracted"

I think the technical term is puppy tooth...

Was there any confusion about what OP was referring to? Just curious about your post.

Both of our dogs had to have this done and now that I think of it so did our last dog. Must be common with some breeds. Thankfully they caught the issue before all of them were fixed (their adult teeth had grown in behind the baby teeth and the baby teeth weren’t lose at all) so they did it at the same time and the cost wasn’t too much.

I'm not the least bit confused. Are you?

A little by your post so I was just curious. I just thought it was an odd correction.

Whenever I’ve had to have it done, the vet just did it during the spay or neuter so the cost for the actual tooth was minimal. But maybe OP wasn’t planning on having either of those procedures done.

Thanks. I'll be sure to let the vet know the technical term.

I just paid roughly $1000 for an abscessed tooth removal (they ended up removing 4 teeth) for our 16 year old cat.
