so today i noticed an oder when shadow came around he's 6 months old right now. he has a yeast infection in his ears and he's on antibiotic drops. anyway not saying these two things are linked . but at first i thought it was his ears but it turns out it's his rear end. i sprayed it down with a hose and it didnt really help. he rubbed his rear on the carpet and sniffed at it.. really disgusting so i got some shampoo and put that all over the area and blasted it off. and it still kinda smells. whats up with that?
anal glands packed>? does this happen often? he's on a pretty good worm pill that takes care of all parasites once a month so he's straight on the worms.
Sorry, I'm not sure, I've not had to deal with this condition before. But I think it has to be sorted by the vet , if it doesn't get extracted it could cause an infection I think.. but I'm not completely sure TBH.
Someone else definitly know more

Normally when the stools are hard the anal glandsa re emptied naturally, its what leaves the scent dogs love to sniff
Occasionally after a bout of the runs or an infection, the glands become impacted and have to be emptied, you cna leran to do it yourself or let the vet or doggie parlour do it for you. If however they are infected then you will need a course of AB's
