My almost 8 year old Golden/Lab mix has the worst breath I have ever smelt. We have looked in his mouth and do not see evidence of any tooth infections or abscessed teeth. Our Current vet told us that “some dogs stink.” It is to the point that we cannot invite people over our home with the fear that he will touch them and make them smell. It is nauseating. We were told they could put him under and evaluate further for $3k + but that is not in the budget. Are there any other solutions? Can you help @Jarrettsvillevet? @jarretsvillevet@gmail.com

I had my dog in the room with me and then I noticed her doing reverse sneezing and it also sounded as though she had a hairball as it sounded like some coughing noise. I took her outside and then an hour later her face is swollen. We didn’t see her eat anything on the camera while I was working. The swelling has gone down a lot but still there. She vomited 4 to 5 times today (white and yellow vomit) and very little amounts. She ate a little bit of rice today and drank water. She seems uncomfortable as she keeps moving her sleeping position and keeps kicking while resting. We suspect it could be possible she ate mouse poop as we saw a mouse run through the yard. The image is of her swelling yesterday and it went down significantly with benadryl. She still has swelling but not verh noticeable. She did have dental surgery on January 30th but it shouldn’t cause an issue now. Please advise what we should do as the vet wasn’t very helpful and said to go to the hospital.

Neurological Problems in kitten after eating
In November 3 kittens came to our shelter, estimated 8-10 weeks, healthy looking and acting. Shortly after one of them started to show neurological symptoms – weak hindlegs, wobbly walking, uncoordinated behavior – but was alert, cuddly and tried to play. It lasted for ca 1 hour and then he was back to normal. We saw this happening 2-3 times a day and linked it to him eating. Of course he has seen a vet several times by now – but we haven’t found anything wrong so far.
– is fed grain and sugarfree food, various brands
– several bloodworks (around 10 by now) – our own lab and external lab – 2 came back with elevated leukocytes, everthing else normal, at one point the external vet was worried for leucemia.
– x-ray and ultrasound – normal
– urin test for liver shunt (negative)
– ct scan of the head (brain) and abdomen (liver) – normal
– bloodwork for medasthenia gravis – negative
– bloodwork for FIP – negative
– fecal sample – showed giardia at one point, were treated succesfully
– is by nowneutered, dewormed and vaccinated – everything went good with these.
He is otherwise acting normal, active and playful. Has anyone experienced something similar and found the cause? Any more ideas what we could look for?
