Thank you Nancy and Lynzy!!
I have made an appointment for us to visit the vet this week to get to the bottom of this.
Funny, I had never thought of acid reflux as a possibility. What were the questions that your vet was asking? I'm curious to know. I'm glad to hear that Miss Mini is on her way to being better, and of course having minty fresh breath!

So as you can see there are many possibilties; but, remember bad breath is usually a symptom of something....I would have the vet check it out to be sure.
Miss Mini had baby teeth at the time of her spaying as well, they removed them during the surgery, and I recall that a couple of them were in bad shape. (funny the things you remember when reading some of these posts!)
Nancy 1999 is sooo right about talking to your vet re: experience with small dogs...very important question to ask. |
