[nagdu] Teeth Brushing

[JULIE PHILLIPSON]

I think you need to see a vet for that.  It sounds like gum disease to me. 
Her gums should not bleed just from brushing.  Are you using a finger brush 
or one with a handle.  Its easier to use a finger brush you can feel better 
where you are brushing.  You might also get some dental fresh or oxi-fresh 
that you put in the water.  I get it from Doctor Foster and Smith for $8.99 
for an 8 oz. bottle.  As my vet says it is like Listerine to us.  It works 
good and keeps his breath smelling much more pleasant.
