My dog has bleeding teeth and eats slow. Is it dental disease?

This could be due to gingivitis or other periodontal conditions. Have Diesel physically examined by your veterinarian. A complete dental cleaning may be indicated. If he will allow, daily brushing would slow the progression of dental disease. Use a pet approved toothpaste and toothbrush.

Marley has quite significant tartar on his teeth, and there is inflammation of the immediate gums. The white plaques you can see look like ulcers caused by the tartar rubbing on the gums. He will likely need some pain relief and antibiotics, but ultimately he will need the teeth cleaned. I don't think you need to rush him to the vet tonight, but I would try and get him in tomorrow as he could do with some pain relief.

Poor guy. He is an older pet, so this is concerning. Bleeding from the roof of the mouth may suggest an oral tumor, a laceration (cut) or infected and rotting tooth. The only way you are going to find out for sure is to have him seen by your vet for a full oral exam. Until you can get him seen, you should purchase a water additive to help rinse his mouth daily and help prevent infection or further infection. If the bleeding isn't too profuse and seems to resolve, then a laceration was likely present, that is healing well. That would be the best case scenario! : ) I do hope that Ratman's mouth can be examined without sedation and that you can get to the bottom of this mysterious bleeding. Best wishes and take care.

If her appetite is decreased from this then I would have it checked. At her age she may be teething and loosing some baby teeth which can cause blood but puppies are also known for eating things they aren't supposed to and she may have injured her gums. If she is eating and acting fine, then you can monitor it for 24 hours to see if there are any changes.

Hello. If you think you are seeing blood, then it might be best to have your vet check things out, especially if Chance is all of a sudden refusing all food. There could be an oral lesion, bad tooth, esophageal lesion, or even something in the sinuses or nasal passages. I would make an appointment with your veterinarian at your earliest convenience to get Chance checked out. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes, this will be causing Squeakers pain and discomfort, and it's not normal. It suggests severe dental disease. This can be treated by a vet by having the teeth removed, and the vet can do a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing. I'd take him into a vet in the morning. I hope this helps!

You are correct that Kila could have a problem with his mouth causing his symptoms, and I would recommend having him seen by a vet. In senior dogs, dental problems can be common, and he could benefit from a dental scaling, cleaning, and polishing. Just like humans, dogs need regular dental care. and he could be suffering from severe gingivitis, tooth root abscess, or a broken or loss tooth. Have Kila seen by a vet tomorrow to have his mouth checked, and the vet can recommend treatment options.
