We are still dog sitting those dogs. Mom finally got so grossed out by the dog's breath, she took the dog to the vet. Serious dental problems and the start of a kidney infection.
My mom adopted a puppy mill rescue (a white long haired chi like me) several years ago who was in septic shock from dental disease. The infection from the gums had spread thru her body and damaged every organ in her body. She ultimately died at 4 years of age because of the damage to the kidneys. So when mom saw that this poor little girl was having difficulty urinating, combined with the bad breath, of course she had to do something about it. But at least we know now and hopefully when Godiva's mom and dad come home, they can get her started on treatment.
Mom bought something called Flossies that she will be getting in sometime this week and then posting on my web site. The Flossie™ is made from a beef tendon. The unique design of this treat creates a natural chewing friction against the teeth which helps to clean a dog's teeth. We have not met a dog yet who has turned down one of these tasty treats. So be watching my site. We think it's a great substitute for greenies, which has so many questions surrounding them.
