If your dog has bad breath get their teeth cleaned or buy some DOG biscuits designed to alleviate bad breath.

In the future I would suggest calling your vet immediately or using one of the hotlines for animal poisonings such as the Pet Poison Helpline 800-213-6680. Waiting for someone to respond to a blog posting could take hours or even days which is why I assumed it was NOT an emergency.
And perhaps in the future
And perhaps in the future you can contain your kneejerk reactions until you know the whole story...just a though.
