Vet. Most likely reason is plugged up or over-full anal glands, that need to be expressed.My puppy has been licking herself nonstop for days, and her nether regions smell REALLY bad. Any advice?
Phone your vet.
Take it to the vet. Definitley. ~Her
Take her to the vet and get it checked out.


Could be an infection or anal glands.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian, anything from tapeworms to infected, impacted anal glands can cause foul odor and irritation. Other possibilities are foxtails in the nether passages or other causes of abscess and infection, all of which will require veterinary attention to resolve.
she probably has some sort of infection but you should call your vet just in case
Go to the vet
Take her to the doctor, she could have a very nasty infection.
Her anal glands probably need expressing. Take to groomers and have them do it when they do a full grooming.
usually when that happens, it means that their anal glands need to be expressed. take your pup to the vet or a really good quality groomer to have that taken care of.
take her to an animal hospital.
maybe you can take your dog a bath with some type of anti anti-flea soap. Or even better take you pet to the vet. If she is still licking herself to much she might be allergic to something.
Is it a sort of fishy order but REALLY strong? My puppy had this and it turned to that we needed to get his scent (anal) glands expressed. A quality groomer should be able to take care of this but if you want to learn to do it yourself, go see your vet.
You need to take to your vet ASAP. Then you'll know for sure, what's wrong with her...
I'm thinking it's the anal glands too.





A groomer can exprees the anal glands, but I would really suggest a vet in case it's something else.





If it is the anal glands and they become too impacted then in extream cases they can burst and the dogs life could be at risk. This happened to a friends Chihuahua. She needed surgery, but was fine, but in pain for quite a while. Best be sure and see your vet.
