 Fishy odor??
2 weeks ago my boyfriend and I were in the car with Coco and we started smelling a fishy odor. He lives near the water so we figured it was that. I realized it was coming from Coco. I Googled it and it said that it was from his anal glands. He had a problem with the glands draining as a puppy. He used to randomly yelp and turn to bite at his butt. We were having the vet do drain them, but it seemed he grew out of it. Then last night it happened again. I smelled the fishy odor. Its such an awful smell. It's like a cross btwn dead fish and body odor.
I heard it can happen when the dog is frightened. The first time it happened, we had walked him at Coney Island and it was very loud and alot of commotion. Last night we had company over and he got scared too. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?? It's such a bad smell and there's no getting rid of it unless I bathe him. |
