smelly breath!
« on: March 04, 2014, 08:36:06 AM »
Hi, I know dogs breath smell a wee bit, but up until a week ago our puppy of 5mths breath was ok.
Its been pretty bad this week, we have tried cleaning her teeth and giving her half a mint denta stick now and again but its still pongs!
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks Elaine

Pearl lost and gained all her teeth in the space of 5 days - her breath was incredibly pongy.  She was also a bit subdued.  I took her to the vets to be checked and she did have an infection in her gums (dogs eat disgusting things at times.  :lol: ) a short course of ABs cleared it up.
