When we drove through Alabama I thought it was Gorgeous and I loved the accent there we had to stop at a gas station there and this elderly gentleman walked with a cane opened the door for me and gestured for me to come in and he said a few words in greeting and his accent took me back about a hundred years LOL....very gentlemanly and quiet!! It was my favorite state we went through when going to Florida I hope to vacation there some day.

Thanks everyone. I've been cleaning it with the ACV as directed and put some in her water. Hopefully this will clear up soon. I think it's getting better. It's not so smelly anymore. Honestly I'm 90% sure her last owner has never cleaned it either. My poor baby

I hope it continues to get better, and I'm sure your bully thanks you immensely for helping to keep it clean!

Welcome to EBN!! can't wait to see more pics of your fur baby. Can I get that Brags here in Arkansas? I haven't seen it maybe I just haven't looked well enough.

Go to Bragg.com and they have a store locator

Here is what I use, and others have different suggestions that work well too.

Wipe out pocket with 1/8 apple cider vinegar per 7/8 water. Clean area until all of the brown stuff is gone.

But some malacetic ultra off amazon. Wet down a cotton ball with the malacetic ultra and stick it inside of pocket, working it around as much as possible. Make sure it has plenty on it.

Allow to dry out on its own, the malecetic has its own drying agent in it.

Once you get the pocket under control after several days of this, i would repeat it for 3 more days once you have a clean wipe. Then switch to a milder cleanser like witch hazel. Follow up with gold bond powder. You may never have an issue again.

Not trying to thread jump you at all, but wouldn't this same process work for gunked up nose rope?

Absolutely but I wouldn't put the gold bond in there.... Too close to the nose! Ewww the thought if having that stuff next to my nose all day would freak me out. I would only use a drying cleanser. Like malacetic otic (not ultra), douxo, witch hazel....

Update: her tail is still brown when I clean it but not gunky or as bad as it was a few days ago. It doesn't smell like death anymore but more of a metalicky smell. She's starting to not really want me back there so It must be getting sensitive.

What are you using exactly? Metallic could be dried blood...

I'm using ACV and warm water then witch hazel until I can get some duoxo pads in.

Great news! Tonights cleaning resulted in no gunk, no bleeding, and no yelps! Her tail has actually started poking out a little bit which has made cleanings much easier! Thanks for all the help! So blessed to have found this site!
