My puppy has bad breath!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have a 10 month old half biewer or others may know it as a parted yorkie anyway he has the worse breath I have ever smelt out of a dogs mouth! It isn't a poop smell like he's ate his poop and it's none of the smells that come from a sickness. Is anyone else having or had this problem with their yorkie babies? My oldest is 4 and he has never had this problem!

Has he lost all his puppy teeth? Sounds like he may have some dental issues going on, and he might have a serious infection in his mouth.

oh there is no doubt he has some teeth issues haha. he has a full set of both top and bottom teeth. Like every single tooth in his head has a double. Here is my thing on that though, he barely hits a pound and a half, I won't even have him put to sleep to be spayed cause I'm scared he won't wake up, so if they put him down and take all those teeth out I'm scared I may have a puppy that 1. may not wake up or 2. I will have to dropper feed for a week. The whole idea of them pulling all those teeth just really scares me. His groomer said he may have a bad tooth and I called to make an appointment with the vet and he is going on wednesday.

He's only 1.5 lbs! That is so very tiny. If he has doubt teeth you need to get them taken care of or it will lead to infection. There have been plenty of other members here that have neutered tinies. I don't know of any other way to remove teeth without being put under anesthesia. If you do the blood work and make sure to you a skilled vet both could be done for his health sake.

See a Vet for some teeth extracting, and a good cleaning.

yes he's such a little thing compared to my older one who weighs 11 pounds. I have to watch him like a hawk constantly to make sure he doesn't get into things he isn't suppose too! Thank you guys for yalls opinions their helping. What do yall think about having him be a stud. I have a couple of people who have saw him and contacted me for stud service but of his size I didn't know..
