Answer 1

bad breath hey?

my dog (pomeranian) once got a bad breath... he's very lazy chewing stuff and hate getting his teeth brushed...

the solution was gettting a charcoal biscuit... you can buy it in the petstore/vet just ask them where it is and they shud b able to give u pointer.

ps: the biscuit is black so try give your cihuahaha abit coz if they're not a clean eater, he will make a mess everywhere :p

hope it helps....

Answer 2

have you changed the chi's food ? you need to feed chi's a high quality dog food such as eukanuba or royal canin. What they eat can affect their breath . try a nylabone also those are good for their teeth and will clean them as well. Also you might schedule a teeth cleaning with your vet . these are just some things that might help . I have a chi that is how I know. good luck with your baby.

Answer 3

I don't know about dogs, but I have a cat that had a similar problem and I took her in to the vet. He checked her out and descovered my cat had feline leukemia and the smell is from the poor condition of her gums from a low immune system. You should really take your pet in to the vet.

Answer 4

make a play pen for her or shut her off from the bed then feed her the chew bones just don't let her get into that area till shes finished eating it

Answer 5

Take the dog to the vet and get his teeth looked at.
