A dog’s mouth is ulcerated and bleeding, accompanied by bad breath and drooling. This is mostly caused by oral ulcers. Pet owners should provide timely help to get the dog out of trouble as soon as possible.

1. Adjust the diet structure

Oral ulcers will cause gum swelling and pain, which will affect the dog's normal diet, leading to loss of appetite, followed by malnutrition and weight loss. Therefore, pet owners need to adjust their diet during this period and avoid feeding their dogs too dry dog ​​food. They should change it to easily digestible liquid food, such as meat porridge, millet porridge, fish soup, etc. Or use goat milk powder to soak the dog food until soft before feeding it.

2. Vitamin supplement

Dogs that lack vitamins for a long time are prone to oral ulcers. This is mainly caused by dogs eating only meat and not fruits and vegetables for a long time. In this regard, pet owners need to appropriately reduce the amount of meat they feed to their dogs and increase their intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin B, such as vegetables, carrots, pumpkins, apples, dragon fruit, etc. In addition, it is also recommended that pet owners appropriately add some vitamin B in the diet and feed the pet orally to help supplement the required nutrients and maintain the normal physiological functions of the oral cavity during the ulcer period.

3. Clean the mouth

A poor oral environment in dogs can also cause ulcers or aggravate oral ulcers. Therefore, pets mainly pay attention to the cleanliness of the dog’s oral cavity. You can use Tequ Mouthwash on your dog every day after meals, and spray Pet Mouth Green to freshen your breath and reduce the problem of bad breath. Brush your teeth 2-3 times a week to clean away food residue in your mouth and reduce the growth of bacteria.

4. Send to the doctor for examination

If the dog has severe ulcers, blood-streaked saliva, depression, and does not eat or drink, it must be sent to the doctor for examination and treatment in time. Xiaokoufu can be fed under the guidance of a veterinarian to reduce inflammation and help restore the normal oral environment as soon as possible. If necessary, antibiotics may be given to relieve the dog's pain.
