Weird Teeth?

[Marley'z Mum]

hi all

I hope the picture turns out ok and can be seen, twas a lil difficult taking it, marley has lost I think all or most of his baby teeth now.... but his canine (I think its his canine hehe) seems to be 2 canines... from lookin at it it doesn't look like its just the baby that hasn't fallen out because it is rather big and it feels pretty solid in there, but its like he has got 2 canine teeth on his left side at the top...

Has anyone else seen this and any idea's on what it is how to fix if it needs to be fixed would be great :-)

hope u can see the pic

That's a retained puppy canine and it looks to have been there a while.

How old is Marley now? If it won't budge then it needs to be extracted. Has he been desexed yet because if that's due soon the tooth can be done at the same time.

Yep retained canine and it's not uncommon. Just get it taken out when the dog is neutered

Mokha had the same problem. Had it taken out when he was neutured, no further problems since.
