1. Dog anal odor
There are anal glands in the dog’s anus. If they are not cleaned for a long time, the anal glands will be blocked, resulting in inflammation. In response to this situation, it is recommended that the owner cleans the dog once every half month. When cleaning, you need to wear gloves and place your thumb and index finger at the 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock directions, and then gently squeeze the gland until no material flows out of the anal gland. That’s it. If the extruded material is purulent or bloody, you need to go to the hospital for examination. In addition, when a dog suffers from canine distemper and canine parvovirus, a foul odor will appear in the anus, accompanied by symptoms of repeated increases in body temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Owners need to distinguish from anal gland blockage. At the same time, you need to take the cat to the hospital for antiviral treatment.
2. Dog’s ears have a foul odor
If a dog’s ears have a foul odor accompanied by pus and black discharge, it indicates an ear mite infection. After being infected with ear mites, you need to take the following measures: First, you need to let the dog lie on its side, and then pour the ear cleaning solution 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 to shake out the secretions in the ear, and then use cotton swabs to clean the secretions from the outer auricle. Secondly, after cleaning the ear secretions, you need to drop ear mite medicine into the dog's ear, and gently let the medicine soak into the ear canal. Generally, the drug needs to be used continuously for about 7 days, and the dog usually needs to be dewormed externally once a month.
