My 2lb 1yr old chihuahua has the WORST breath ever! it’s worse than any big dog i’ve ever been around…I mean, she even has morning breath! The worst part is that she is so licky licky, so you smell it all the time, and it gets on your hands and stuff. My family thinks it’s her “natural defense mechanism” because she’s so small. hahaha, maybe but it’s nasty! What can I do?? i’ve tried no people food, dental chews, and brushing her teeth.
She does have double “K-9” teeth on the top and bottom, which she will have removed soon, and the vet says she has an unusually high build up of tartar, but he thought it was just the people food i’ve been giving her…but I stopped that and the breath didn’t change.
Could this be a sign of a more serious health problem? She does so a little “wheezing” type thing, but I think it’s only for sympathy when she gets too excited and we won’t give her people food. Other than that and the teeth, she is perfectly healthy.
