My dog smells like something rotten even after a thorough bath. This began about 2 weeks ago and at first I thought he had rolled on something dead while he was outside. I gave him a bath promptly. That seemed to help for about a day. I watched him closely to make sure he wasn’t rolling around on something and he did not. He’s had several baths since, but no change… Still smells horrible after a day or so. He’s always had dandruff, but recently it’s been very excessive. The last time I was bathing him (he usually LOVES bath time) he whimpered the whole time like I was hurting him. What could be going on? Some sort of skin infection? He’s had a mild one before (treated w/ antibiotics) but nothing that ever made him smell like death! Included photos of his “dandruff” (quotations because I’ve never seen anything like this)

I bought home two 8 week old chihuahuas today, I was told they had been given flea treatment two weeks ago however, I have found fleas on them? What should I do?

My dogs eye is pinkish red. It gets crusty. Do dogs get pink eye? What can we do to treat it?

My husky is only 5 months old. He’s acting weirdly in an on and off basis. He starts having thick drools with head and tail down walking round and round. Please advice.

since last night I’m detecting this strong odor around Cookie; seems it’s coming from urine (as I detect it when I sniff stains on her pee pads as well when sniffing around her rear end. It is strong enough that I caught a whiff even as she just walked pass me.

Here is the thing – it is strong but not really a stink and not anything I’ve ever smelled before which I’d know what it might be. Smells kind of sweet and the closes thing I can compare it to is the way my hair spray used to smell like (back when I still had hair and was using hair spray) when particles dried and mixed with dust.

That is very confusing and I don’t know what to make of that. I imagine infection would have BAD odor whether bacterial or yeast …? I don’t want to just assume it might be from the meds as assumption is the mother of all f*** ups. Friend’s dog was on chemo so when her urine reeked they assumed it was from the chemo. Meanwhile it was a massive UTI and went under the radar until the dog exploded with blood from her bladder. (potty accidents and other issues were chalked up to the original issue the dog had, massive brain and brain stem inflammation).

So I don’t want to make the same mistake and assume one of the meds are behind the smell when something else could be going on.

Thoughts?

my 2yr.old 20lb. chi/corgi followed me out to the garage 1/2 hr ago and I believe he ate some green mouse pellets9poison)

My cat gets UTIs from time to time. Usually my vet will come to my house and write an RX for food. He is out of the country and I cannot take my cat out of the house. He gets very nervous. Can anyone recommend someone ? I am in Brooklyn, NY

Fish question-my fish has a white area on both sides of his tail, looks like something is on him. He is also sitting vertically a lot and hasn’t eaten lately. Any ideas?
