Why is my 6-month GSD puppy losing teeth, has diarrhea, and won't eat?

Question

Well my gsd puppy is abt 6 months now and today she lost more than 4 tooths. Her teeth are falling out crazy. She had a very bad diarrhea yesterday bt she ate today till the afternoon and again she is not eating now. Is the diarrhea and loss of appetite related with her teeth? Her upper canine is wobbly right now. She lost other teeth and the once in the middle of her mouth. She lost all the tooths today since morning. I'm also not sure if she is losing whole teeths. I mean just half a tooth. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 25 days old | 19.842 lbs

It is normal for dogs to lose their puppy teeth and only see half of the tooth because the root will be gone when the tooth falls out. The canine teeth are the last teeth to be lost and normally should fall out by around 6 months of age in a GSD, so it sounds like Sweety is right on schedule. However, loss of appetite and diarrhea are not normal signs when they are losing teeth, so I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her to determine what might be going on with that. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
