Dogs with mouth ulcers are generally manifested as increased saliva, red and swollen gum mucosa, ulcers, pus, bad breath, stones, etc., affecting eating, and some may also cause fever. The main causes of mouth ulcers are bacterial infections and the dog’s own reduced immune system, as well as possible micronutrient deficiencies. They can also be caused by external forces (e.g. eating bones, spiny fish, hard objects such as fruit shells). Mouth ulcers need to be treated with a combination of anti-inflammatory and immune boosting medication, mainly oral anti-inflammatory medication, vitamin supplements to boost the dog’s resistance and topical mouth spray. It is best to avoid sharp bones, spiny fish, fruit shells and other hard objects. It is also important to pay attention to the dog’s oral hygiene and to brush his teeth regularly. If the disease persists for too long, it is advisable to seek medical attention and treatment.
