Any tips for alleviating pain & discomfort caused by teething. I got a chili bone, a cloth bone you wet & then freeze, but Lola seems disinterested. She doesn't seem overly bothered, but I know she isn't terribly comfortable either.
If your dog does not lose weight after cutting back on the food, have a complete thyroid test done. Do not cut back the food drastically but slowly week by week. I have used plain canned pumpkin as a filler. My three dogs get no more than 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups but they are on different foods.

It seems like the lower 1/3 of his K9 (that's his fang I'm guessing!) is gone so we can see the pulp inside. It is not discolored and he's eating fine. I'm glad to hear that he can live without those teeth. I am curious to see what the dentist recommends for the future, since Seti obviously has weak teeth.
@Solomon:
I will wait, for a few more weeks, I am going to take him in to have id chip installed and will discuss with my vet. I gues I am just looking forward to have that part of puppy-hood behind us. He is a very normal basenji!!!
Thanks for all of the advice!

Certainly you are no different to us.. we are ALL happy when those puppy "needle" teeth finally disappear!:)
