Our 3 y/o rescued doxie, Maddie, every once in awhile...maybe once a week or so...puts off a nasty odor. Not sure if it is coming from the butt or vaginal area. She acts peculiar when this happens. ...
Anal glands probably and she acts funny because they are probably full, impacted and she is uncomfortable. They can become infected if neglected also - could be an infection starting. What did the vet say?
