But today as he was sitting on my lap.. he did it again. It is coming from the booty.. that bad part, is I can not give him a bath now. Not until he heals.. has any one else experienced this smell. Please advise. I will ask his Vet on Friday when he goes back. |
Do make sure, first and foremost, that the smell is not coming from the wound - I doubt it is, but just wanted to mention it since the smell is post-surgical (sorta). It could be the glands, esp. if he is constipated - is he? Is he drinking enough water? The meds given for surgeries can really slow down the digestive system. For now, you can clean his little butt w/ baby wipes - and if the area looks irritated - put some cortisone cream or diaper cream on the area. If he is not pooping, you could give some canned pumpkin to help - but if he's been consitpated for awhile, then you should call the vet.
