Not sure what to do...
So people have kept suggesting that it's not just me that thinks my nearly 6 month old German Shorthaired Pointer is a handsome boy. There a show coming up around the corner in a month or so, so I thought why not.... Can't see me really getting into it, but I'll have a go.
So, he's never been hugely great at having his mouth handled, so the last few days I've been practising with him and he's now fine....
BUT....
I noticed last night that his middle top 2 teeth are growing backwards. I googled "underbite" and it doesn't look like that. His other teeth are probably not "infront" of his lower teeth, but look to be sitting right. Does that make sense?
They are adult teeth, but are obviously not as big as they're going to be. Does it matter? I'm not really thinking about the showing side, cause I'm pretty sure it WILL matter for that, but that doesn't really bother me, but is it gooing to affect him? I'm worried they'll cause discomfort. I'm assuming it's not just gonna sort itself out....
I've tried to get some photos... But it was REALLY hard to get him to sit still, lift his lips and take a photo!! It's quite hard to see in the photos, but it is only the 2 top middle teeth that are growing backwards, and they are at an angle...
you can see in this one it's only just 2 teeth.... sort of!
(hope I've uploaded them right, I haven't done it in a LONG time!)
I could take him to the vet? Do you think I should?
and just because he's really cute a bedtime and I've just taken it off my camera...
