Anyone ever experience there dog having an odd odor from their mouth, especially when they lick something? Spike licked the couch and it smelled like pennies and batteries.
Baxter's breath smells amazing when he's only eating the farm fresh pet food. But when I add in the kibble I use, the blue Buffalo basic, his breath quickly goes to "disgusting". Smells like sour fish. I believe in other words, it's entirely based on the food.
Licking odd things is a sign of heart burn, so stomach acids is my quess, what makes that smell. There are some over the counter human medicines that you can to dogs. You could ask the farmacist. There could be something in his food that causes his heart burn. But with like humans every individual is different, so it's difficult to know what it is in your babys case.
Sassy's breath also has a metallic smell. The nurse in me automatically thinks blood....but other than when she's lost a tooth, there are no signs of bleeding. I do feed her plain Greek Yogurt daily... still no idea what it could be.... She is still teething, but again, there are no signs of active bleeding....
