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. ...
Well...we took Maddie to the vet. The vet did express the anal glands but not much there. She couldn't find any reason for the odor. It doesn't smell like skunk...hard to explain....just kind of a strong, rotten smell. A woman at the vet clinic told my husband that her female dog has an occasional odor also, that lasts a few hours and then it goes away. So...we will see if it happens again. Thanks, everyone.
