Toss the tuna... it's been opened for a few days without any refrigeration.
Tuna is a low acidity food which can be a friendly environment for food poisoning pathogens (bacteria). Tainted foods don't necessarily have a distinctive smell so the sniff test can be deceiving.

If the tuna is smelling you should probably throw it away and is no longer good to eat.

No. Do not eat it. If it was in the fridge, that would be one thing. But smells a little? No way! Garbage! Do not even feed it to the dog.

Nothing should stay at room temperature for more than 2 hours, and no more than 3 days in the fridge....dont forget this!!

No get rid of it if you haven't refrigerated it. If it smells toss it now.
