My 9 week old GSD's breath suddenly turned sour yesterday. He has normal appetite/ feces, no vomiting or diarrhea and is active. He does eat grass, rocks, sticks (we are working hard to correct this). He is on the raw diet. Does anyone have experience with this or suggestions as to what this might be? I know it is possible that he has something lodged in this esophagus/ mouth that I cannot see, but he is not coughing or dysphagic.
You might want to check each one of his teeth for any swelling or redness around his gums, which might indicate an abcess or infection causing the smell. Since he's on raw, he might have caused some abrasion to his mouth tissue from vigorously chewing on bones etc. like puppies sometimes do. Hope it's nothing serious. My parent's great dane eats rocks too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I picked up this meat from a new butcher about a week ago. It was ground turkey, but looked and smelled liked it had fillers. Stupidly I bought 5 lbs. Anyway I went out and bought different meat yesterday from a different butcher and his sour breath went away.....go figure.
I'm just glad he didn't have an infection from a stick on his throat or something.
