Anyone know of anything that can take away my cats bad breath? It is not all the time, but sometimes it smells like foul fish. She only eats dry food from the vet, good stuff for indoor cats. Do those treats work?

How old is she? And maybe she needs a dental... or wormed...

She is 8. I had her teeth cleaned about 20 months ago... and that was the first time she ever had it done. How often are you supposed to get them cleaned?

Most vets. Will recommend a dental yearly especially since she is older,have you had bloodwork done recently?She may have an infection,I've seen one tooth cause a problem and a cats mouth is a haven for bacteria... nasty stuff.. check her gums if she'll let you and see if there is any redness or swelling along gumline or broken or missing teeth.. hope this helps..
