Help! Wook's mouth has a very foul smell?? it smells like something rotten and absolutely gross.. anybody have this problem?? He keeps licking his mouth, and hasn't eaten all day. We just noticed it. can anybody help??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: |
Could it be a bad tooth? When my poodle had a bad tooth, his breath was really foul. |
I agree, the bad tooth... this happened to my cat(dont know if they are the same), we had the tooth fixed and the bad breath went away, instantly! |
How old is he? Poor baby...it does sound like a bad tooth. I hope you get it figured out and he's better soon! Maddie and I send get well kisses! |
we just rushed him to the 24 hr vet. He doesn't have a bad tooth, they did all the blood work and tried to see if anything is caught in his esophogus. couldn't find anything wrong with him :( Except for a swolen gland. So they think its possible. But not likely causing all these symptoms. He has no infection. So we brought him home, he finally ate tonight.. wooohooo, he seems happier that he got food in his system. If he gets worse, we have to get x-rays and go from there. lets hope its just the gland Thanks everyone |
abbie is so happy that "The Wook" felt like eating! Though, it still sounds like a tooth, to us, too. |
really a tooth.. hmmm, well the vet didn't think it was a tooth. he's awake this morning and being his normal self.. He's eating right now. :D :D He is still licking his mouth a lot, but his mouth didnt smell bad like it did last night. wouldn't a vet know if it was his teeth?? |

Another thing to consider is that something may have been lodged in the little fellow's gums and was decomposing. That can also cause a fetid odor. But I would think your vet would have mentioned that :confused: Just keep a close eye on him and check that baby breath frequently for awhile. Poor little babies really need their mommies to watch over them don't they. :) |
well, Wookie is doing much better. He is eating and drinking water like normal again. He is playing alot more, but he still seems tired often. But he is on some antibiotics and benedryl, for the tonsil and for any possible infection. The smell in his mouth is gone, and he's being rambunctious again.. so i think it's definitely a good sign :) That was definitely a scare.. it's crazy how much you love these little guys |
Glad to hear Wookie is feeling better and I hope ya'll figure it out soon or it passes. I had to laugh though because a couple weeks ago, Tatum had a nasty smell on her mouth too. I got curious and went walking around outside and found the culprit. Either one of our outside cats or our Aust. Shepherd (shoot, could have even been the Tater herself) caught and killed a mouse and it looked like it had been chewed on a bit. Hence the nasty roadkill smell on Tatum's mouth! YUCK! So, maybe, just maybe if you have a yard you should look to the outdoors for the answer. Probably not the case in your situation but thought I'd share that little tidbit! Good luck! |
