I've read that dogs whose anal glands are full sometimes have a fishy smell. While Joey never had the fishy smell, his symptom was scooting his bottom on the floor. The vet said that sometimes puppies don't push hard enough to empty their glands, and they need manual help. You can see if this is the problem, and the area around the anus will be slightly puffy. The vet showed me how to empty the glands, and he eventually outgrew it, but the contents of the glands is very fishy smelling. I wonder if she's licking her bottom? |
