Teething

Can anyone tell me what the signs of teething are (apart from teeth falling out, obviously )

Archie is 4 months now and hasn't lost any teeth yet, but yesterday I felt his glands on his neck and they seemed a tiny bit big, my sister says when children are teething they get swollen glands, does the same happen with dogs?

He has also been much more hyper than usual lately....

Yes it can, they can also throw a temperature, go off their food, sickness and dihorrea(spelling?)lethargic, grumpy you name it they do it.

I waited for the nappy rash but it never happened.
OOh also hot ears!!

Hope that helps!!

Ohh thanks I didn't know all that stuff Hot ears will be useful as Archie's are always cold no matter how warm he is!

Actually Archie already had nappy rash when he had the ****s a few weeks ago I had to put cream on his bum lol

I made the mistake of letting Luna have a marrow bone at around the time she started teething, so we ended up with a runny tummy for a month!!! poor ickle Luna

Finn is 13 weeks now. Star started almost as soon as we got her home at 8 weeks. Although it starts it can be a while before they lose their teeth.

This is from our puppy pack:

your puppy will start teething almost as soon as you get it. The bottom eyelids may droop showing a bright red rim and his ears may fly on the top of his head.

forgot to add Star had all her adult teeth at 5 1/2 months

So teething doesn't refer only to when the milk teeth fall out?

Archie's ears have never done anything funny....

It was raw Gem

Uhm Luna was 5 months old, when she started teething... I've always been told that around 4-5 months is pretty normal...

Wow Caz. Finn is early!!! An d so was Star.. Perhaps Boxer's are faster than other breeds???
