New Prouud Papa

[Sitting Duck]

Hi everyone.

Here is my first post on the forum.

Hi Folks,

I am the proud Papa of a lovable labradoodle. I am new to the forum and was hoping someone could help.

My 4 month old pup has a stinky rear end. I have bathed her tail end twice in the last week thinking some residual "number two" has stuck there. Today after gaging from the smell I washed just her backside again. An hour later I asked my wife to check and she said she smelled like shampoo. I just check myself, (3 1/2 hours post bath) and she smelled FOUL!!!

I am pretty sure it is not anal glads but not positive. I am pretty sure it is not gas because it does not disapate. I really do not go around smelling my dogs rear. We just get close or pick her up and you can not help but notice. The rest of her smells fine, it is just her rear.

Is this normal for these labradoodles or is there some problem.

I know there will be a temptation to post a lot of wise cracks, (pardon the pun), but I am serious. There is something rotten in Denmark.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!

That's all it could possiby be is anal glands and they need to be expressed.
I'd say take her to the vet or groomer and have this done asap.
This is normal for any dog and it does happen every now and then.
Also, sometimes there is a buildup of their coat in the rear and they are in dire need of a potty cut.
We all know that foul smell......thankfully, it can be resolved.
