    Maverick had "puppy pyoderma" when we got him. It flares up every now and then but doesn't bother him. We were told it was like doggy acne. It sounds similar to what your guy has.

    Maybe Neosporin Pain; it has a topical pain/itch relief in it. Again, it could be licked off.

    How about putting on a T-shirt to keep him from scratching and licking.

    The person who could give you a definitive # should do some betting in Las Vegas! :)

    Gabby's came out fast and easy, but she had that last one that just hung around longer than the rest. We worried, but it eventually did come out. She also had a molar that never came in on the top.

    Mocha was 7 months old & still had a baby upper canine. His big boy tooth came in around it. When we had him neutered the vet took out the baby tooth while he was out for that. No issues.
