I have an almost 4 yr old Dane with horribly rancid/sour smelling breath--smells similar to her rancid stinky poop.
Recent bloodwork all normal, recent non-anesthetic dental by a professional dental technician who says her teeth and gums are very healthy, regular brushing at home, mostly raw fed (NW Naturals) for the year that I've had her (occasional high quality grain-free kibble/canned), and prebiotics/probiotics/digestive enzymes daily. She won't chew bones. She had asymptomatic giardia that I treated with metronidazole ~6 weeks ago and I was hoping that was the source of the stink... She has sensitivity at the thoracic lumbar junction of her spine that I treat with chiro and acupuncture...that location is associated with the GI tract, so I was hoping acupuncture would help but so far no luck.
She just had her teeth cleaned and her breath still smells awful, and I just noticed that my raw fed 6 month old kitten has similar foul, rancid breath...
Any ideas?? I'm a vet tech so I know that dog breath stinks, but I don't think it's right for my young, healthy, raw fed, clean teeth animals to have such foul breath!!
