The foul smell on the dog may be caused by the lack of cleansing the dog's hygiene or suffering from skin diseases. Usually, dogs' mouth, ears, claw pads and anus are prone to smell when they are not taken care of for a long time. It is recommended that the owner gradually check the dog's body parts, and the inside of the ears need to determine whether there is purulent black secretion, whether there is an odor after the mouth is opened, whether there is purulent secretion, and whether the glands in the anus can squeeze out liquid.

1. Anal odor in dogs

There are anal glands in dogs. If they are not cleaned for a long time, it will cause blockage of the anal glands, resulting in inflammation. In view of this situation, it is recommended that the owner clean the dog every half month. When cleaning, you need to wear gloves to place your thumb and index finger at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock, and then gently squeeze the glands to squeeze until the anal glands have no substance flowing out. If the squeezed substance is purulent or bloody, you need to go to the hospital for examination. In addition, dogs suffer from canine distemperment and canine stinking when they are young. At the same time, they are accompanied by repeated rise in body temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness, and lack of appetite. The owner needs to distinguish it from the anal gland blockage, and at the same time, he needs to take the cat to the hospital for antiviral treatment.

  2. If the dog's ears have a foul smell and are accompanied by black secretions of pus, it indicates that the ear mites are infected. After infection with ear mites, the following measures need to be taken: First, let the dog lie on his side, and then pour the ear washing liquid into the dog's ears, usually until the liquid level can be seen. Gently massage for about 1-3 minutes, then wrap the dog's head with gauze or towel and let it throw out the secretions in the ears, and then use a cotton swab to clean the secretions in the outer auricle. Secondly, after cleaning ear secretions, you need to drip the ear mites into the dog's ears and gently let the medicine penetrate the ear canal. Generally, the medication is required to be used continuously for about 7 days, and the dog needs to be dewormed externally once a month.
