I have her now. We have decided to call her Isabella. She has lots more energy tonight after several days of good food..... She still has an odor despite being bathed by myself on Sunday afternoon and the shelter yesterday. The vet thinks she is basically healthy, but the results of her blood work have not come back yet. She is likely deaf or near deaf, but seems to see fine despite having some cloudiness to her eyes. I will foster her for a few weeks then if everything is working out I will adopt her.

Tinkerbell is doing very well with her and just keeps trying to get her to play with her.... I will start a new thread and keep everyone updated once she settles in.

Our pom is 12 1/2 yrs old and has developed an odor,she has always smelled fine until a few weeks ago. I took her to the vet today and is now being treated for a bacterial skin infection. She has a few teeth missing in front and has been drooling lately. I bathed her Tuesday and when I brused her afterwards,the hair on her chin just came out in clumps. She is being treated with round 2 of antibiotics and it is beginning to help.
Is it possible that she has a slight staff infection?

Thanks for sharing that information with me. I am going to find out if they checked her for that and if not ask that she be checked.

Originally I was grooming her and found three spots on her that,at first,looked like ringworm. Major freak out moment,I was leaving town the next morning,she sleeps with my daughter,there are 4 other dogs in the house and the vet left at noon. AAAAAA! I took her in for the tech to take a look and blacklite her,not ringworm,staph infection. I noticed when I bathed her this time that the smell didnt come back except on her head and chin. This ment that the infection was still there ,but slowly going away. She is taking Ceflexin. Good luck!

Just read through this thread. I guess it is hard to know what to do in such a situation. I agree though that if an owner lost a beloved dog they would be looking every where. I can't imagine how bad I would feel if I lost my previous dog at that age. It's like losing your child! I'm glad she is with you. I hope you find the source of the smell. If it is the mouth area it should be fairly easy to detect. She may have been eating some bad stuff during her experience. I hope all goes well for both of you. It would seem as though the shelter would have been notified if someone lost such a dog in your area.
