Hi
Just noticed that my 16 week old staffie has lost his first tooth also he has some others that are loose. Could anyone help with what i can do to help him e.g toys or any weird things people have done to help there dogs with the pain and that.

Not really weird, but Bongela (as sold for teething babies) can be very useful. Your pup will also appreciate something cool to chew and I always recommend a tea towel, soaked in water, knotted and then frozen. Take it out of the freezer for a few minutes before giving to your pup - he'll probably also enjoy a gave of tug with this as well. Other toys include the knotted rope (Ragger) and toys that can be stuffed with food (taken form his normal daily ration, or he'll get over weight) such as Kongs or similar.......
Some good suggestions from Digger there. I didnt give my staffie anything out of the ordinary. I was very lucky in that he never chewed anything but his own toys so I guess it didnt cross my mind to do so.
Sox did have a kong though and knotted ropes anyway so maybe I had inadvertantly given him what he needed.
You'll soon be treading in little needle teeth in the carpet!
WHEN I HAD A STAFF PUP YEARS AGO SHE CHEWED ONE OF THE LEGS OF MY MOTHERS COFFEE TABLE WHICH WAS WORTH £500 !!!!!!!! SO I DECIDED TO TRY A KNOTTED ROPE SOAKED IN WATER THEN FROZE IT. GAVE IT TO THE PUP & HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH HER !! ALSO YOU COULD TRY USING KONGS & REALLY HARD RUBBER BALLS. TRY NOT TO GIVE THE PUP THE RUBBER BONES ON THE MARKET AS MINE CHEWED THE ENDS OFF & SWALLOWED THEM ! SHE HAD TO HAVE AN OP TO REMOVE IT
