Maybe she has a bad tooth or...

she ate something that's stuck in there somewhere. Use a flashlight and take a close look around her back teeth.
Could be a ruptured abscess or a rotted tooth.

Either way, a vet visit might be in order for her...

So i went home last night got all my tools out on the table- cotton balls, warm water, toothbrush, toothpaste, gum massager, q tips, baby wipes....needless to say, piper tried to hide once she saw all the goods coming out...but i noticed her breath was already better than the it had been in the morning. anyway, i cleaned and scrubbed that mouth for a good 30 minutes...she actually didnt mind! by the end she was lying on her back, paws up in the air and her jowls hanging by her ears!! i think she just needed a good cleaning, thank god!! thanks for the responses guys! :) heidi and piper

If she goes out in her yard without supervision she could have eaten something not so nice.. :( .
