| I don't have any suggestions but I also noticed fishy smells on Sebastian as well. It's not all the time though. I'm trying to pinpoint why but I can't seem to figure it out. Sometimes his breath smells more foul than other times and his bottom will have a fish smell. I'm totally dumb founded too.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | 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?

| My little Hansbro's face smells like wet dog sometimes and I think maybe it is from drinking his water and getting his mustach wet. I am trying to teach him to drink from a water bottle. |
