What’s wrong if a dog’s mouth is bleeding?

Bleeding from a dog’s mouth is mostly caused by oral diseases, but can also stem from systemic conditions.

Cause Investigation

  1. Bleeding due to trauma
  2. Tooth loss or oral lacerations from eating
  3. Oral diseases

Solutions

  2. Perform regular oral care.
