I'm a newbie to this site and haven't had a proper look around yet, we've got a 5 month old westie called Molly who seems to be having trouble with her K9's on the left hand side of her mouth, she seems to be trying to chew something that is not there, I've tried a Denta-rask, chews and even a hot water bottle wrapped in a teatowel on the side of her face and nothing seems to be working, would bonjella do any harm??? She also appears to have an adult tooth coming through but the baby one is still firmly in place!

I've never been aware of any problems with using Bongella (but it wouldn't do any harm to check with your vet first.......) Other things you can try are soaking a Ragger or an old knotted tea towel in water then freezing it - most dogs love to chew on something like this, and the extra cold (don't give it to her straight from the freezer!) is soothing on tender gums..........

Thanx will try the rag in the freezer, anything to try and help!!

I had a puppy with this problem. The baby tooth wouldn't come out & the adult tooth sort of jammed it in. She had to have the baby one removed by the vet because it was driving her crazy.

I'd take her to the vet for a good oral check up!
I gave our pup a raw nuckle bone to chew, she loved being able to get to all the different angles of it and got all of her teeth out that way.

hi there, i use bonjella when my pups are teething and they are fine,also give him plenty of things to chew on, this should do the trick.

Have tried the bonjella and that seems to have calmed her down a bit, will have to see how the tooth goes and if necessary take her to the vets, thanks for all your help!
