Dogs teeth grinding?

Female indoor 9 mnth golden retriever pup grinds her teeth she%26#039;s been to the vet why would she be doing this?

Dogs teeth grinding?
Id be annoyed if they shoved a thermometer in my as-s too.
Reply:Teething hurts. It could be that, it could be any number of things. What did your vet say?
Reply:I think the x-raying of the jaw is the most logical thing to do. She could have some teeth not lining up, or something else going on with the jaw line. The next thing I would go with is something neurological causing the teeth grinding.


Other possible causes can be:


- gastroentestinal problem


- an inflamatory issue
Reply:thats what I thought when my daughter at seven was grinding her teeth....dogs get stressed too, they can also have jaw alighnment issues and teeth problems....the trouble isn%26#039;t why she is doing it but how to stop it if you even can.
Reply:You know, one of my shelties grinds his teeth too. But, he only does it when he is nervous or bored, I havent figured out how to get him to stop. Its just a habit of his. I would suggest maybe putting a tiny squirt of lemon juice in her mouth every time she does that (if hers is a habit like Aces, if its constant then x-rays are what I suggest) and eventually she will learn that whenever she grinds it makes a bad taste in her mouth. I honstestly have never figured out what Aces deal was... its just a nervous habit I guess..
