We need to ask SG. I have no idea. SG suggested this might be the reason for the stench and I recall taking her once before bc of the smell. it may even be dog specific bc loosh has never smelled from it, he will just boot scoot.
I’ll be interested to hear what the cause is, as I’ve never heard of it-the only dog smell I’m familiar with is when they need a bath every 2-4 weeks in the summertime, and that is still a circus here-Husky girl still screams like a mountain lion is dragging her off for 5 minutes or so as soon as I turn on the water, even though I get into the shower with her.
Some breeds are more afflicted than others and cannot empty with normal bowel routines and need extra help clearing the sacs(sorry, don’t mean to be crude). The glands serve a useful purpose but can become clogged with debris or inflammation. Whenever they develop an odor and/or start scooting, that is usually the cause. As a child, we had a Boston terrier that needed to be expressed periodically but it’s never been a problem with the collies or any of the other dogs we’ve had.
our Missy suffers from that on occasion.......it’s been awhile now since the last time.
