This case is almost similar to Bebe's 1. Bebe has bad breath which smells like a dead fish / something dead. His teeth are yellowish at some part. I consulted a vet about his condition. They say the bad smell is due to the food that got stuck in the teeth. After a long period of time it will cause bad breath and also yellowish teeth. He recommend me to bring Bebe for scaling (cleaning the teeth) but normally vet will inject some like anesthetic them to make them sleep/pengsan a while then after the procedure is done he will be ok. But i heard that the injection is not good for our furkids, the vets personally told me, and advice me to find other vet of groomers who knows how to do it and does not need to inject Bebe. So i found another vet in Puchong who will use the gas type before doing the procedure. The vet also say that if it is not a serious case its better not to do the procedure if the vet use the injection type. I am still thinking of whether wanting to bring Bebe there for the scaling. hahaha i hope my experience can help you in someway.

Errm...best not to do that, as there are many other dogs around. Your pup might be susceptible there. It's always best to keep your pup in a controlled environment (ie your home) until they are fully vaccinated before exposing them slowly.

Added on April 16, 2009, 12:19 amYes, sometimes bad breath is caused by spoiled / rotten teeth...same like us, if our teeth had holes in it, we tend to get some bad breath. The thing with dogs' teeth though is that rotting teeth can lead to other serious problems if the rotten teeth are not treated / pulled out. It could lead to gum problems, and slowly can cause fatality. So, best to check with the vet to confirm if Rose has some bad teeth, or it's just plaque.

I will bring her to check soon ...
