The ordor is a fishy smell.
Answers:
A dogs anal glands usually empty when they defacate.Loose stools can cause the problem,due to the fact that when loose they dont exert enough preasure on the gland to make them empty on their own.some dogs may also have a physical abnormality that prevents them from draining.While you can do it yourself,do not attempt it unless you know what you are doing.It is posssible to rupture the anal glands,which will lead to a whole lot more problems.Let a vet or groomer show you the correct way to do it,before you try it yourself..
tell me what it smells like
YOU GET WAY TOO CLOSE TO YOUR DOGS' BACKSIDE
u smell ur dogs rectum?
That's strange as usually dogs have a pine forest scent in that area that I can't get enough of. I'm not sure what you're doing with your dog..but stop it! I think any animal's rectum will have a fishy smell, but I'd rather not know. Have you been feeding it the Filet-o-Fish instead of the Big Mac?
Does your dog drag his butt on the ground? Your dog has to have his "sack" cleaned. My dog has the same problem and I took her to the vet. He squeezed the rectum area and all this liquid came out with a VERY foul odor. I think this happens when the dog has difficulty doing his business. The vet told me to feed my dog mushed pumpkin to help her poop better.
Its to do with the bone meal your giving him as its made from fish.
that's the anal glands, also called the anal sacs or scent glands. if they don't empty normally, they have to be emptied manually, best left to your vet unless you can wear some SCUBA tanks to avoid the smell!
Needs to have his anal gland emptied by pressing them. It is pretty gross I would have the vet do it.
A dog has anal glands on both sides of the rectum. That's how they identify each other (smell each other's behinds). Most of the time they drain on their own but small dogs and inside dogs can have trouble with this. The vet can teach you how to drain them or a professional dog groomer. They can also be removed with surgery with no problems for the dog.
A cheaper alternative to having your dogs anal glands expressed is to take him to a groomer that will do it. They will usually wash, express the glands, dry, trim and brush them through.
I doubt it would cost more then 30$ plus your pooch will come home smelling and looking great!
Try expressing her anal glands. I bet that's the problem. But make sure to wear gloves and do it somewhere cleanable..because it's going to smell REALLY BAD. But afterwards, the smell should go away and she'll be a lot more comfy!
The problem is probably the Anal Glands. Small dogs usually have more problems than larger breeds. All mammals have anal glands (that is usually what makes farts and poop smell). You can take your puppy to your groomer and usually, if the puppy doesn't need an actual grooming, you can get just the anal glands done. beware though, if the anal glands are expressed and there is no bath given to the dog, then the "juices" from the anal glands could stay on the dogs rear end and will then smell very bad. The odor is strong and will usually last a long time. I don't suggest cleaning the anal glands without a bath..
