My Yorkie now has bad breath-help Ok so my little guy is 7months old and 4 lbs, he has never had bad breath and for about 2 weeks now well wow it's bad really bad he does not eat his bowel movements or get into anything he is with me pretty much all day and does go with me when I leave. I was wondering if an infected tooth could cause this, or maybe something else. I do brush his teeth and keep him very clean and feed him Royal caine and his other treats. Any advice??? |
Teething will cause this. Have you had his baby teeth removed yet? Many Yorkies need help in losing their baby teeth. If permanent teeth come in, and baby teeth are still there, food gets lodged in crevices. |
An infected tooth, or even one that's loose and hasn't come out yet can cause stinky breath. Scooter was known as "death breath" for awhile. Also, if he has double teeth that haven't yet been removed, food can get trapped and their breath will be awful!!:) |
im going through the same thing with my layla she always had good breath but just the past 3 days wow its pretty bad :eek: i did find one of her teeth on the floor and i remember tuckers breath at this time and age(layla is 6 months) his was just as bad so be on the look out for some teeth laying around im sure thats your problem:eek: |

shark teeth The vet will have to anesthetize him lightly, otherwise it would be too painful. My Porsche was just a little over 4 pounds when she had hers done. She was fine. ;) |
My vet did it when Joey was fixed. |
We called Archie "Jaws" because he had a complete double set of teeth and the bad breath to go with it. He had a couple of the loose baby teeth removed when he had a cyst removed at around 5 months and the rest of the baby teeth taken care of when he and Willie were neutered. Willie had a few retained baby teeth also but he never had the awful bad breath like Archie did. |

Thank you |
Yes, do get them looked at. Or when they get to be older, it can be a big problem. See my thread on Stanford. He just had to all his teeth pulled as they were all rotten and infected. Take heart- he IS 10 years old. Good luck... |
