My dog has mouth inflammation. Can Bromelain help and how much?

Question

What dose of Bromelain can I give my 13 yr old, 35 lb dog to combat mouth inflammation? His values are all healthy except slightly elevated monocytes. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 12 years and 11 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The recommended dosage of Bromelian is 15mg per pound of body weight, so Obee can have 525mg two to three times a day. I would recommend taking him into the vet to have his mouth examined. This mouth inflammation could be caused by a tooth root abscess, oral tumor, broken tooth, or severe gingivitis. He may benefit from a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing.
