For about 6 or 8 weeks now Ruckus has had bad breath. sometimes it can almost make you gag! I dont understand why. Maybe there is an underlying cause.
I brush his teeth a few times a week, and he gets natural balance dry food. i know its not the food change because his breath started stinking before i had to change his food.
i know what moderate to sever gum disease in dogs looks like. and i dont really think Ruckus looks like he is having any problems. but it does seem to me that the gum part around his tooth is darker than the rest. but actually his gums may be pale.
It was drawn to my attention that his gums were pale. I took him to the vet and they looked him over and done blood work. they found no reason his gums should be pale. i can notice a change in them from then to now. they look even more pale and his breath stinks worse! do you think i should take him in for a dental or something?
