reneernc: It SOUNDS to me like it could be Renal Failure - A dog will put off a strong oder....be VERY thirsty all the time ...(their breath changes and the smell is similar to "poo")....They will also pant excessivily and seem bloated ?
I'm only saying this from experience with my husbands cocker spaniel Lady....She was the BEST dog ever and poor girl went into renal failure at 14 years old.....She was never in any pain that I could tell ...
Renal Failure can go on for quite a while before it gets to the point that the quality of life is not good....I'm sorry - and this is ONLY my opinion and for you to really get a good answer for this - the vet can tell you more.....
Good luck and sorry to hear about your poodle... |
