What To Do When Your Morkie Puppy is Teething
As your Morkie puppy starts growing, he or she will begin to show signs of teething. This will occur around 4-5 months of age. This tends to be uncomfortable for the Morki puppy and they will often want to chew on things to ease this irritation. There are a few ways you can help ease the pain for your new Morkie pup. Make chicken soup ice cubes and place them in a bowl or hand them off to your teething puppy. As your Morkie puppy tries to chew the cubes, he or she will numb the gums and mouth.
Another option our Morki breeders recommend is to soak a clean rag and then place it in the freezer; your Morki puppy can use this to chew on to help ease the pain. This period of time can be quite painful for your Morkie puppy, and sometimes bleeding may occur. It is important to discourage your Morki puppy from chewing on objects in the home. At times the pup will even try to chew on your arms and legs. The teething process causes a great deal of discomfort for your Morkie puppy, using the frozen compress or the ice cubes can help ease the pain.
