I just happen to feed kibble and prefer it over RAW just my preference Donna I can totally agree with that statement!!...

The teeth hold the tongue in so I would think it would have to hang out if there are no teeth. Not sure why she wouldn't use the other side though?

,my cassie had her teeth pulled 4 years ago yes there little tounges hang out ,they look funny ,

I'm sorry your baby went through this at only 4yrs old. I read, before getting Buddy, that Yorkie's loose their teeth at a very young age if not properly taken care of. It's hard to believe but it's true. The teeth hold the tongue in place therefore without teeth the tongue will come forward and stick out. Hope your baby is feelings ok today. That's a shame.
