| Smells like fish and metal It's a very revolting smell. I've been reading about it online and seems like it could be any number of things from anal glands to hyperthyroidism. She has an appointment tomorrow. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | That does kind of sound like anal glands. Have you switched to a new food recently or new treats? Or did it start out of nowhere?

| I agree with Ann. It definitely sounds like anal glands. That is the nastiest, room-clearing smell, and makes you wonder how such a little dog can pack such a smelly whallop! |

| No we haven't changed anything. She's off to get em fixed up in a little bit. I'm hoping that it's just the anal glands. Because I read online that it could also be a sign of hyperthyroidism along with increased drinking. She drinks so much that her pee comes out clear (and dries clear) and in some case still cold! |

| Lily has a terrible fishy smell too. I think it's anal glands for her. She has 2 good solid poops a day but no matter what she eats, one soft serve poop too :P Sorry to be gross. I gave her a dental bone tonight to help things firm up, those seem to do the trick. I'll take her into get her glands expressed tomorrow. Definitely fish and metal and hoping it's just glands.
