Peggy emits a horrible fishy smell when she is scared or excited. Just now it was so intense, she left a wet spot on the couch and I had to pull it all apart to wash the cushion covers.
My minipoo mix scooted like crazy and needed her anal glands regularly expressed (according to our vet) but I never had to deal with that SMELL. Meanwhile, Peggy's anal glands are apparently fine, but this horrible fishy grossness has been happening since she was 9 weeks old.
Anyone else have this issue with a spoo puppy?
Our groomer has advised against touching them unless absolutely necessary. And since she's not biting at her backend or scooting or showing any sort of discomfort, it seems like they're physically fine.
Perhaps too much information (but if you've read this far, you're probably not squeamish): She has the best bowel movements of any of my dogs. Regular. Perfectly formed. Perhaps a little on the small side. I do give her a small amount of fruit or veggie fiber every day and I add water to her kibble.
