Hi, well we have a problem, my Bernese Mountain 1yr old puppy started a few months ago with a gum inflammation and bleeding which gave her bad breath also, I took her to the vet and they treated her with antibiotics the inflammation and bleeding of the gums disappeared but a couple of weeks later it all started again same treatment and same result the third time the vet told me that my dog has a sort of autoimmune problem that reacts to something in her mouth he mentioned something like ulcerous gingivitis and it was going to be for life, he recommended brushing her teeth after every meal, which I do, and putting some xylitol in her water, also he suggested a dental procedure that polishes the teeth to make them more even and prevent tartar accumulation and facilitate cleaning this last suggestion I think is to radical, I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem and if a change in the diet might help also, any thoughts? suggestions? help us 🙁
