Enzo’s adult canines are coming out but his deciduous canines are still there and they’re turning blue. Will I need to get them extracted or is this normal and they will fall out?

This is not normal but it is common. The deciduous teeth may fall out but they may not. I cannot tell you what will happen. I suggest you just monitor the teeth and if by 8 months of age they have not come out on their own then you will need to have them extracted.

It looks like Jr has a few retained deciduous teeth, or baby teeth that have not fallen out. At this point his incisors should be gone completely since the adult teeth have come in. The teeth do look discolored and could be infected, but even if they aren't removing these teeth is often recommended so the adult teeth are not affected. This is often something that is sometimes performed at the same time as a neuter. I would recommend making an appointment to have your veterinarian examine Jr to determine whether these teeth should be removed and when.
