What's the smell from my dog?

Asked by rahn00s about 1 year ago, 6 answers.

I just adopted a female dog, that had puppies about 10 weeks ago. Every once in a while she puts off a really bad smell. Is this normal? It seems to be when she licks her girl area. Could this be an affection?

She could be in heat or it could be her anal glands. Some dogs need their glands expressed and if they aren't, they will secrete a nasty smelling discharge. The vet should be able to expel it for you.

Editor is probably on the right track...doggie oder can be caused by the anal glands (and since she doesn't stink all the time...this would sound likely to me).

No, it's not normal at all. She could very well have pyrometra in which case RUN, don't walk to the vet. Spaying your female will certainly help avoid these types of illnesses in the future and will liberate her from heats. It's the responsible thing to do on all counts.
I hope you seek out veterinary help immediately.

It could be because the dog is scared or excited.. it will secrete a real stinky oder almost like a skunk.. weird... LOL My dog was startled by a person he didnt know that came in the house... he started barking real loud and a second later the whole house smelled of this real bad oder. I had to give him a bath to get the smell out.
