She had her first heat cycle about 3 weeks ago. I took her to vet because she just seemed really off to me and vet said it was possibly because of first heat cycle. Fast forward to yesterday she was just no engery didn’t want to do anything or play with other dogs. Woke up this morning and she didn’t even want to finish her food and was drooling on herself which is not normal. Her gums are like a really dark color. Along with swelling and bleeding around canine teeth manly. When she drools when sleeping she will wake up with blood on her face (picture below). She is drooling and licking her lips a lot. When i first took her to the vet she had diarrhea and really bad eye boogers. Her stool are still soft but not explosive anymore. Her eye boogers are still there. Her breathe smells awful also. Vet also did an ultrasound and said her GI tract was inflamed and gave me medication for that.
I'm really sorry to hear that your dog is experiencing these troubling symptoms. The issues you're describing, such as dark gums, drooling, swelling, bleeding around the teeth, and foul-smelling breath, are quite concerning and suggest a serious dental or oral health problem. Coupled with her lethargy and poor appetite, this could indicate a significant infection or another underlying health issue.
The dark color of her gums and the bleeding might be signs of severe gum disease or an abscess. The drooling and bad breath further support this possibility. Given her previous diagnosis of an inflamed GI tract, it's possible that her overall health is being compromised by a systemic infection.
Considering the severity and progression of her symptoms, I strongly recommend taking her back to the veterinarian as soon as possible. She may require a thorough dental examination, potential extractions, and treatment for any infections. Immediate veterinary attention is crucial to prevent further complications and to alleviate her discomfort.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
