Fishy Breath
« on: August 02, 2012, 02:01:59 PM »
Archie has had fishy breath for a while.  I don't think it is related to anal glands as he has not shown any other signs such as scooting along the ground or abnormal poo.  I am wondering if it could be his food.  He is on CSJ complete tripe at the moment although I am just about to get a bag of the natural dog food company chicken and brown rice.  He has to have hypoallergenic food as he has inflammatory bowel disease.  He can't have a raw diet as raw meat dives his a dreadful tummy.  Any suggestions for the breath and what can I give him to make his breath a little less evil.

Don't rule out anal glands as mine neither scoot nor have runny poo but they do have problems now and again with their glands.  The only other thing I can think of is lip fold infection.

I'd 2nd lipfolds as well - they do stink a lot when they're infected
