Did you know that more than 80 percent of pets three years and older may develop some form of gingivitis in their adult years? This means your Pomeranian could already have the presence of gingivitis in his mouth. You can find out by checking for red or swollen gums, inflammation, and irritated gums. Inflammation is especially present on the side of the gums facing the inner cheek. Call your vet to schedule an exam. If your vet concludes your Pomeranian has gingivitis then you should start taking steps to help fight the disease. For instance, try brushing your Pomeranian’s teeth at home. Schedule a professional teeth cleaning with your vet. Other steps include possible removal of overcrowded teeth or baby teeth that are present in your adult Pomeranian. You may want to feed your dog a hard dog food as crunchy morsels can help break down plaque. Talk with your veterinary clinic Bentwater, TX for more suggestions.
