Fishy Smell from His Bumm

[Steelstacks]

There is a fishy smell coming from Bowser's butt. He doesn't try to lick it and he doesn't do the butt scoot across the floor but do you think it's his anal glands? He eats from beef frittata and I give him Greek yogurt every morning so I figured his diet is ok.

Yup - anal glands. It stinks for sure, keep it clean, wiping it a few times a day - it should go away on its own. Tyson's usually smells for a day or two then its gone.

Thank you. I will keep wiping and update.

Usually anal glands express themselves while the pups are doing the bathroom duties. Some of them have issues. Orion's right gland expresses itself. We call the act "fish-butting". We have to take Orion in to have hers expressed by the vet. I know [MENTION=900]KMARINO[/MENTION] has to take VegasB in for this also.
