is bad breath a symptom of sarcoptic mange?
My dogs have had sarcoptic mange for 5 weeks (didn’t confirm the dx until last week when the heartgard injection worked, vets suspected fungal infection but the culture took 3 weeks and it was negative) Anyway, 3 days ago their breath began to STINK, both dogs. I thought maybe just a bad breath day IDK. Their teeth are sparkly white thanks to RMBs. No diet change except a month ago I added milk thistle.
I know sarcoptic mange causes an odor to the body, but is it to the breath too, or any other ideas what is going on please?
It kind of like a rotten garlic smell. (they haven’t gotten garlic in a month) It’s so strong that if they lick my hand, my hand stinks.
The vet never called me back from yesterday..I suspect he will monday. But does anyone know?
(their bloodwork was all fine, no tick diseases. one has a problem with his liver but my other doesn’t and both breath smells)
thanks
their diet hasn’t changed..they eat a prey model raw food diet. mostly it’s beef. I am supplementing with vitamins and that’s new in the last month but other than that nothing. no sores inside their mouth..
hm. I have given them sulfur orally (homeopathy)
dogs bodies are designed to eat raw meat (carnivores) they’ve been eating it for 2 years. the sulfur wasn’t much, 1 pellet every week.
J- I used to,and yeah I smelled that too, but this is much much worse. I stopped the garlic for about a month.
do you feed brewer’s yeast + garlic tablets? My dog has gotten them every day for a year and ever since then she has had bad breath. It doesn’t matter what quality of dog food i feed her. . .breath is still yuck :-/
