Rule of thumb...if your baby doesn't have a problem with expressing there anal glands never let a vet or groomer express them, that will cause problems, the dog than can't express the glands them self and you end up having to go the groomer or vets every few weeks to have them expressed. |
If a dog's anal glands are full and not expressing on their own, they can rupture and abcess, requiring surgery. Best to have them expressed when full... usually a diet with more fiber can help.
As for the smell... if it's her skin, and she feels gooey or sticky shortly after a bath, all over, then she could have a yeast infection on her skin. Let your vet see her, but don't bathe her before the vet sees her, let them see her right before you would give her a bath, so they can get a better idea of what's going on.
