I just bathed my girl, but she still has the bad odor. It has just been recently that I have noticed it. Almost like a stinky foot smell or something. She isn't dirty and it doesn't seem to be coming from the anal area-what could it be?

Any fungus in the pads of her feet? Any type of ear or gum infection going on? Could she be coming into heat and possibly have a discharge going on? Hope you discover what is causing this odor. Let us know if you do.

I am sniffing all over her body and it seems to be coming from either the mouth or ear region. I need to go back on the raw diet. We have been so busy that I have been feeding her a grain free kibble but she never had this smell with raw. I am going to clean her ears and see if that helps. The smell is definitely coming from the head somewhere.

Hmm, weird...she's not shaking her head a lot is she?

Does she have a lot of eye discharge? Sometimes that can really stink, oddly enough.

They can also get localized skin infections...hopefully it resolves soon.
