Answer 1

For one thing STOP WASHING YOUR DOG.Only wash you dog once a month. all Dogs smells but just in case go see a Vet. They can help you with the problem and let them know that you wash you baby (dog) 4 times a month,

Answer 2

She needs her anal gland expressed. The next time she is in the bathub take your fingers and gently but firmly squeeze the area around her anus in an in and out motion. Smaller breds can't express them on their own and need to have this done once a month to prevent infection. Your vet or a groomer can show you how to do it if you are uncomfortable. Be prepared though because when it squirts it goes everywhere. Express the glands and that awful smell will go away.

Answer 3

Dogs have this thing called "anal gland" that should be cleaned once a month. The only thing that you have to do to clean it is pinch with your fingers the anus and a liquid is going to come out of it, it's going to smell bad but just when is coming out. She is going to fell relief. That doesn't hurt. If you don't want to do it take her grooming, just ask them to do it. I think is better is they do it because they are doing it all the time and they know how to. Also does she rubes her butt to the floor they do that when the anal gland itches, most of the people think is worms but it isn't.

Answer 4

she could have an infection of some kind causing an odor to come from her body. Also dogs have anal sent glands and they get clogged sometimes (it really nasty) and a vet can squeeze it clear. But a vet is your best answer, since its a puppy you will be visiting the vet often so just ask him/her.

Remember your pet depends on you to care for it.

Answer 5

some dogs do have Oder's bassets are the worst pugs do have smells to but they so cut learn to like it bathe in aloe Vera if give bathes allot don't dry out skin make her scracth to much also have the anal gland cleaned that might be the smell good luck

Answer 6

Anal glands are full. Take her to the vet they will express them for you. Im a vet tech i deal with this all day and I have pugs and they have terrible anal gland problems. Be careful if they arent expressed they will rupture and form an absess, Not fun at all.

Answer 7

She's a little young, but it sounds like infected or impacted anal glands. Take her to the doctor. If money is an issue, the doctor can show you how to do it. It's disgusting, but it's a lot cheaper if it becomes a chronic problem.
My sister's Yorkie (another tiny breed) had it impacted so bad that it exploded and he needed mucho bucks surgery, so don't procrastinate!

Answer 8

For one, your not supposed to bath your dog that much, only once a month because it drys out the skin and takes away the oils they need in their coat. Second, take your dog to the vet, their might be an infection in her bottom or something.

Answer 9

Stop looking for answers here.Get to a vet right away.My dog Blackie died within days of something very similar.She had diarhea and was vomiting.It may not be anything as serious as my Blackie but isn't your dog worth the trip to find out?

Answer 10

You may have to pop her anal gland. I know it sounds nasty but that is what a vet told me i would have to do once every few months so the smell would go away
