Baby Socks has lost the majority of his baby teeth between putting him down for play time and puting him to bed. (About twenty minutes between the two events.) The thing is, we've only found one of the missing teeth, and I watched him lick up and swallow another before I could stop him.

So, will those hurt him? He seems to be fine right now, but will they cause a blockage? Will the teeth puncture his stomach or bowels?

I did feed him some mushy kibble soupie to cushion everything. I'll be checking on him periodically through the night. Is there anything else I should do?

It shouldn't be a problem. Most times people aren't even aware of them (usually because the breeders deal with this, not the kits people) ciao
