    My puppy hasn't had her teeth long and it seems she is loosing them already.
    One at the top has gone and one of the bottom ones is loose.
    Is this normal in a puppy only 4 months old.

    Are they her puppy teeth? If so, that is normal. They lose them between 16/18 weeks.

    Let them come out naturally. Don't dislodge them prematurely.

    If a puppy tooth is hanging around even when the adult tooth is pushing through, then make an appointment with your vet.

    She seems to have dislodge lost one when chewing on toys she has rope toys and also rips tufts of grass when on walks she gets onto a frenzie so could have lost it doing this.
    I just checked the bottom one it moves slightly in the gum but is not wobbly or lokinb like it's going to fall out.
    She is at the vets next week for her worming and kennel cough I will get them to check her mouth.
