My pup is teething and although the big side canine tooth has come through the baby tooth its replacing hasnt fallen out yet..? Its not even loose but seems to be turning grey so the root must have died. Has anyone else experinced this. Should we take her to the vet to have it pulled or wait to see if it drops out???  Thanks

Personally I would just get plenty of chew toys, especially a knotted rag type and a nice big juicy fresh knuckle bone from the butchers :)  Once your pup has an opportunity to have a really good chew on something you may find the tooth comes out without you even knowing :D
Its quite common for the baby teeth to seem to be taking ages.  My own pup lost all the teeth very quickly (within a week or so) except for one of the canines which looked set to stay forever :eek:  One juicy fresh knuckle bone later and the tooth was gone :D

Hope this helps

I'll give it a go  and get down the butchers

Thanks for the advice...

Dont bother with the vets just get loads of chew toys like Dill said and have a good play, it will soon drop out, footballs work especially well if your dog likes them .
