| YOrkie Horrible FOUL Bad Breath the WORST!!! Please help I have a newly acquired yorkie over a year old who has the worst breath you could possibly imagine it prevents me from letting her kiss me or getting to close to my face because of the smell. I mean this isn't like your normal run of the mill puppy breath smell it smells like something rotting/foul it's bad! I took her to the vet the first week I got her and had her teeth cleaned and they pulled 2 teeth but still no improvement. What to do??? I tried dental bones, brushing ( which is a nightmare struggle) she is not use to having her teeth cleaned at all and I can barely get the brush in her mouth. But also dental mints, bones, & treats and still no success in kicking the bad breath. Is their a medical reason for her horrific bad breath? Any advice would be greatly appreciated or if anyone has dealt with this and can offer advice I even called the vets office and asked "you really did clean her teeth right?" ha ha they responded of course. BUT.... It's that bad still. PLEASE HELP ! THANKS |

| Could she have food stuck between two teeth? Or maybe a piece of a stuffed toy stuck in between teeth and it's decaying? Good luck!! |

| She had the horrible bad breath when I got her so that is why I had her teeth cleaned. Hopeing that would eliminate the bad smell. I don't suspect it's her diet she get's 1 bone every other week and she's on Royal Cainin dog food and I don't give her any people food at all. |

| I don't believe so since I've only had her for 1 1/2 months and her teeth were cleaned the first week I got her. When I left the vets office she still had the smell. It wasn't that bad or as noticeable the first day but the next day it was back. Last edited by fancypooch; 02-10-2011 at 03:18 PM. |

| Thanks everyone for your contribution to my question I am almost wondering if it's medical maybe??? I called the vet and all they said was bring her back and they'll take a look. I just wanted some insight on some possibilities thanks so much. |

I'd make sure they did xrays when they did the dental. Unless they did, they can not be sure she doesn't have an infection in one of the teeth, and that can be the cause of the odor.

| My Yorkie has the same problem. His breath smells like rotting flesh. When he yawns I always think he made a poo in the house lol My vet told me there was nothing to do.

| Did they do dental xrays? If it was this bad again by the next day, I'd rule out medical causes. Did your Yorkie have preop bloodwork?

| try yogurt I also have a yorkie who used to have bad breath. He has had regular dentals each year and i work at the Veterinary CLinic and he has regular check ups so i know its not his teeth. But someone recommended adding a tsp of plain yogurt with live active cultures in it. And it helps their digestion, and helps their breath a ton!!!! It has helped mine alot. I hope this works for you. |
