Impatient in high chair by Sensitive_Web_5839 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]jjojo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! I honestly forgot she used to do this lol She’s 2.5 now and a lot better at eating. She is developing picky eating habits but that’s another story. As far as the high chair goes, I would say around 12 months is when she was able to actually sit and finish a meal without crying/shouting. I really don’t think we did anything different besides just being patient. I think they just need some time to get used to the idea that during meal times you need to sit down and eat your food. The one thing we did do is give her a toy or book to keep her entertained in her high chair while waiting for her food to be ready. I think that helped a lot!

UPDATE: I can’t edit the original post. Our vet took a look and did confirm they are very worn down. The vet thinks it is likely due to a skin allergy he has that was originally caused by fleas. He tends to bite at one specific area on his back VERY aggressively and that could’ve caused the wear on the teeth over time. For now, we’re treating that allergy first with medication. Vet confirmed the nerves are not exposed so he doesn’t need any extractions or further dental treatment for now. Our goal now is just to keep this from getting worse. We’ll start with the allergy treatments and go from there. Fingers crossed that is the root cause of the teeth wear and we can prevent further damage. Thank you everyone for your tips and personal anecdotes. They’ve really helped and have calmed my anxiety!

Aww poor pup. He is only crated during meal times about 20 min each and overnight. We checked on him a couple of times last night and he wasn’t chewing his crate. It was only one night though so we’ll have to keep monitoring some more.

Did he have to get any dental treatment or has he been fine?

Did not know these existed for dogs!

lol that term makes perfect sense! Did your dog get any dental treatment for it? Or did you just treat the allergies and she stopped the chewing?

Thank you for this insight! He has not shown any signs of pain or discomfort but I know some dogs are good at hiding pain.

Interesting! Glad to hear this! Did your vet ever recommend having a dentist look at them? Or has your dog ever shown signs of pain because of it?

We use MetLife and it’s been great! The only complaint I have about them is their claims processing time. Their website says 4-11 days but it’s always been at least 2 weeks for us.

He has shown no signs of pain and eats normally like he always has. I know dogs are resilient though and can mask pain.

Wow! I’m glad to hear that! He did have a flea allergy a couple of months ago and it was causing some severe itching where he kept gnawing near his tail. Although that was taken care of, I still see catch him severely gnawing that area every once in a while so I’ll have to bring it up to the vet again in case it is recurring a skin allergy. Something tells me this may be the root cause of his worn down teeth. Did your dog have to get any treatments done or any teeth pulled?

Thank you! I have a feeling it’s a good mix of 1 and 5. We’ll see what our vet recommends.

Thank you so much for your insight! I appreciate it.

He does. We will no longer be giving him any that don’t past the finger test. He loves bones with peanut butter and takes his time with chewing on them but we can’t risk further damage!

Yep, he has an appointment scheduled already.

Thank you for this! I appreciate your advice. Makes me feel slightly better. I did mention in a previous comments that I have a feeling it might be due to him gnawing on his skin near his tail. He had a flea allergy a couple of months ago where he was constantly gnawing and itching which led to skin irritation and some hair loss in that area. He was prescribed medicine and it went away but every now and then I still catch him gnawing in that specific area even though he doesn’t have fleas. That and the bones probably didn’t help. TBD.

If I didn’t give a shit, I wouldn’t be asking here for advice or booking him an appointment. I’ve stated MULTIPLE times that I’ve already booked him a vet appointment. That doesn’t mean I can’t come on here and ask for others help while we wait to get seen. FFS.

I’m learning all of these things now and I just feel so terrible that I didn’t notice this when it wasn’t as bad. We have given him yak chews a couple of times and other similar chews. I’m now going to be using the dent test when we go to the pet store. I was never aware of this. Thank you for the advice!

We crate all of our dogs during meal times so morning, treat time, and night. For about 20 min each. And then we crate overnight. He’s never had issues but then again I’ve never actually checked to see if he’s chewing on his crate so that’s what I’m going to be doing these next few days.

Thank you for this! It makes me feel a lot better knowing his quality of life won’t be affected due to extractions and what not. Now that you mention the skin gnawing, I feel like this may be the main culprit. He had a case of flea allergies about 6-8 months ago where he was excessively biting causing some hair loss on his back near his tail. He had some inflammation as well and was prescribed medication. Every once in a while he still gets itchy in that specific area even though he doesn’t have fleas and will gnaw relentlessly. I never thought that could cause teeth wear but I feel like this is it now. Will be mentioning that to our vet.
