Just as human kids, kittens are born toothless. Soon at them milk teeth which, in turn, will be replaced after a while with constants grow.
Instruction
1. Pay attention that already at two-week age the kittens get the first milk teeth. They sharp as needles, and kids can wound the mom cat during feeding. If you notice that on one of her nipples there is a trace from a sting, process it an anti-septic tank. In 8-12 weeks the kitten usually already gets full range from 26 milk teeth.
2. Do not miss the moment when milk teeth of a kitten begin to change on constants. Usually it occurs on reaching animal three-months age plus or minus several days. The first cutters, then canines and, at last, painters and premolyara change. Usually change of teeth is fully completed when the animal is 7 months old.
3. Provide to a kitten a full-fledged diet with the high content of calcium and phosphorus for the entire period of change of milk teeth with constants. It will allow to sate its organism with all necessary for rapid growth and normal development and also will make teeth of an animal healthy and strong. If the kid during this period eats worse usual, but for the rest remains vigorous and cheerful, then do not worry – at a stage of change of teeth this normal phenomenon.
4. Keep in mind that when kittens have a change of teeth, they begin to gnaw everything that catches sight to them. Put away clothes and footwear in cases, hide all valuable things from animals and also do not allow them to approach wires. In pet-shop you can buy special toys, gnawing which, the kitten loosens milk teeth and at the same time accelerates eruption of constants. During the game do not allow a kitten to bite your hands at all, further will be to disaccustom him to this seeming harmless habit very much and very not easy, if at all perhaps.
5. Control as there is a change of teeth at a kitten. Usually problems with it do not arise, but in isolated cases the inflammation of a gum at an animal and emergence of pus from a wound and an unpleasant smell from a cat mouth is possible. It means that the wound was infected. At emergence of similar symptoms address to veterinary clinic; perhaps, the veterinarian will make the decision to extract one more or several milk teeth to accelerate process of emergence of second teeth.
