    Hi all. I have a one year old female shih tzu and have noticed that she is losing a lot of her teeth on the bottom row. Is this common or should I get her to a vet asap? She is in good health otherwise. Thanks.

    not to sound stupid - but I assume these are her adult teeth? (as in did she lose all her baby teeth when she was younger?)
    If they are adult teeth she's losing then I'd go to the vet as you don't want her losing more/want to know why she'd be losing her adult teeth in the first place

    Hi. She is 12 months exactly. Should she have lost all her baby teeth by now or are they the ones that are falling out at this stage.?

    Well my Lhasa Daisy was losing her around 5/6months old so I would think your shih tzu might have lost hers already. I take you didn't notice her losing teeth at that age?
    If you want to be certain then go to the vet, they can probably tell you if it's baby teeth or not - as it does sound late(I would have thought anyway) for baby teeth to be falling out, but not impossible.
