My puppy has a shaky grey tooth, no gum issues. Is it normal?

Question

My pup has one of her pre-molars shaky and it's grey in colour. There is no gum bleeding/swelling. What could it be? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 18 days old | 45 lbs

Hi there. At this age, Luna is teething. It's likely that you are seeing the baby premolar becoming loose and getting ready to fall out, as the adult tooth begins to come in above it. This is a normal process, so you shouldn't need to do anything. If you want to be sure, I would recommend taking Luna in to a local veterinarian for a quick exam - he/she can confirm whether or not this is a normal baby tooth, or if there is some other problem.
