The first was around 55 and second test around 47. she is due for More blood work soon. thank you very much for providing this service and thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi John - I get many shih tzus at my Doggie Chalet Hotel - A popular breed here!
I would love to refer you to some supplements for your baby...
Also, some of the pigmentation on the gums could be nutrition related.

For the teeth and bad breath - Please try the following - all the product I refer to are excellent and my Clients have had wonderful results with them.  You need to be careful about quality in any products you purchase.

1.  Silver Shield - A must for the oral health of your baby - Great for the entire body - helps to get rid of virus and bacterias..
YOU CAN take this too...For humans and Pets.
Give just ONE teaspoon per day....

2.  This Tooth Paste can work wonders on our Pets- Taste is good too and it helps heal the gums...
Place this on your finger and rub into the teeth and gums -

Apply a small amount of water to your finger and then a small amount of tooth paste - rub on the teeth... Do a massage...
YOU CAN use a tooth brush - many older dogs will not like a tooth brush in the mouth.  They don't mind your finger....
