Sue,

You might try a medicated shampoo and CAREFULLY follow the directions. I

would try that, even if I bought it from the vet's, before I pay for an office

visit.

Good luck and God bless,

Check her ears. Sometimes an ear infection can cause a dog to stink. Take

her to the vet. She may be in pain.

[Guest guest]

Well, I guess I should have posted what we have done... we have tried

3 different shampoos on her already. And her ears are one of the first

things we checked, she is prone to ear infections with those flopppy

ears, and it is easy for her to get them if her ears get wet.... the

odor is definately coming from her coat. It lessens when she gets a

bath, and gradually increases over time, and her coat starts to feel

weird... Brushing her helps somewhat, but doesn't make it go away.

We did take her to the vet, and she blew it off. Looking for another

one....

I had a lab one time and he got what the vet called ear magnets. They really had

a terrible odor. Just a thought!

But I have a Beagle, she is a wonderful dog, and sleeps right beside

my bed all the time. It's amazing how she reacts to how I am feeling

sometimes. We have given her a few extra baths trying to get rid of

some smell she is getting. But it keeps coming back. And it really

stinks like nothing I have ever smelled before. Poor girl. And when

I pet her, her coat starts feeling " thick " , like there is something

on her fur. The only thing I could find is something about a yeast

infection on her coat. But we can't get it to wash off. We've

washed her bed, don't know what else to do. Has anybody ever heard

of this? Or know how to get rid of it? I just thought I'd ask

before we start taking her to the vet. My son wants to give her

another bath, but it's gonna start being way to cold out, so I want

to make sure, or atleast try to, that the bath is going to be more

effective this time.

I know, this is funny posting about my dog.... but she is so special

to me And she really stinks! lol Her name is Mistie and she is 11

yrs old, and still has a bit of puppy in her yet. Her favorite way

to play is when I put a blanket over her head, and call her name or

touch her head or the tip of her nose. She is so funny. And she

knows all kinds of tricks too, she has always been very easy to

train. Smart girl. Well thanks for listening anyways. Hope somebody

has an idea about this. Thank you.

Hi Sue

My carrin terrier gets yeast on his skin several times of year and just bathing

wont cure it, you need to take your Beagle to the Vet and she will give you

something oral to take as well as a special shampoo. I believe its oral

nystantin, cant remember, but yes just bathing alone is not going to help- you

need to attack from inside as well as outside and the shampoo that you get is

special too.

Hope this helps.

If It's a sweet/sour kind of smell, and she has a yellow , crusty discharge of

any type on her skin, it is yeast infection and she will need to go to the vet

to get rid of it. You can't wash it off. I was a vet tech for 10 years. This can

lead to very bad sores on her skin and a terrible infecton. Also check in her

ears. Yeast is very common in the ears. It will have a bad odor and and a brown

discharge. If she has this in her ears, Depending on the severity you can try

to use an ear cleaner twice daily that has Chlorhexiderm in it. Otherwise she

will need a prescription shampoo and ear cleaner from the vet. I hope this

helps. Been waiting for a year and a half for a chance to be a vet tech again.

Thank you for letting me feel useful again. =)

Dogs also have anal glands leftover from when it was useful in 'marking their

territory'. Older dogs sometimes do not always empty these glands (just inside

the anus) when they " poop " and it stinks. Teeth can stink too. Also old dogs do

get doggie odor, there are a number of waterless shampoos out there you can

spray on and wipe off. Be careful with these though, if they say it has a

detangler in it, can be very slippery if it gets on a tile/wood floor, like

stepping on a patch of ice. (we " gimps " do not need to be slipping!!!) A rubdown

with baby wipes for a quickie works too. Any soap you use to wash your dog will

kill all sorts of " cooties " , if you let it set on there for about 8 minutes.

That is probably the easiest thing to try first.

Hi & ,

I appreciate your input a lot.... I always keep an eye on her ears.

She does have medicine for her ears, in the fall she had an ear

infection that was bacterial and fungal or yeast, I don't remember.

My husband took her that time. And I called for a refill right away

because I knew it wasn't going to be enough because I was not just

putting it in her ear canal, but I was rubbing it all around the

inside of her ear too. One ear was bad, the other was okay. Beings

I had enough, I put drops in her other ear too. But my husband said

that it was brough to the vets attention twice about her coat feeling

icky, and he let her know that it was coming back after we washed

her. And that it did have an odor to it. She did have " black " spots

on her paws. She was licking them a lot, so we washed them, and

eveytime she would lick, I would just say a quick " ahh " , and she

would stop, she rarely licks now, and the black spots are gone...

Yeah, I know about the glands! It's not that smell. lol She is

going to have to go back. , do you know " about " how much that

should cost? Last time we took her in, it cost over 200 dollars. For

her EAR. My daughter-inlaw thought that was very high. But I've

paid more. Maybe I will take her to the humane society till I can

find another vet. She doesn't have any sores or other skin

conditions of any kind. Other than the smell and the feel of her

coat, she is good. She is on rymadil for her hips, could this be a

side effect of that medication at all? Just a thought...

But thank you guys... a lot. Hope your days have been okay...

Sue.

The licking of her paws and the discoloration is most likely due to a seasonal

allergies. that may also be what is causing the odor on her skin. Yeast love

warm moist places and if she's licking or chewing at her paws or skin the could

cause yeast and it can spread. Allergies in dogs differ than in humans. We tend

to get itchy eyes and sneezing and such. They tend to get itchy skin. A vet

visit could ramge in price depending on what your vet determines he/she needs to

do to corerectly diagnose the problem. Some vets will do a " skin scraping " and

look at it under the microscope to see exactly what is on the skin at a celluar

level. Some can just look at areas and tell by the appearance what it going on

with the skin. As far as the ears, if they are bothering her, they would most

likely take samples from them and also look under the microscope. they can see

if it is yeast or bacteria, or fungal. Sometimes for fungus, they have to

culture it and grow it to tell. Rimadyl would not be a likely cause. But if it

is, there is also Deramaxx that can be used instead. Not all vets carry this,

but there are alternatives. Typically when going to the vet, you can expect to

pay an office visit, any procedures or tests, any medications, and sometimes

there are fees for filling them at the vet. I would estimate that here in Texas,

a typical cost for skin and ear visit would run about 150-200 dollars all

inclusive. Meds for animals are somewhat costly and especially if they need a

prescription shampoo or things like that. Sometimes they have allergies to their

food and may need prescription food to clear up the problem. I hope this has

been somwhat helpful. Take care.
