Since Last Night I’m Detecting This Strong Odor Around Cookie; Seems It’s Coming From Urine…

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?

    honestly…i would get a vet involved.  sometimes they can identify a malady based on the smell, but they’d want to do further diagnostics.

    I AM getting vet involved but no vet in today; doesn’t look like an emergency and tomorrow she’s traveling “to the other end of the world” for physio appointment. So trying to see if anybody has any experience or insights.

    Quite sure it’s coming from the urinogenital area, as that’s where strongest when I sniff her all around as well as stain on pee pad also had this odor. Only slight actual urine odor mixed in with it.

    has she been tested for diabetes?

  5. Jana Post author

    Blood work and urinalysis about a month ago. Clean. No signs of an issue other than the strange odor which started yesterday. No increased drinking, no increased urination, no other signs.

    weird. good luck figuring it out!

    Weird is the word. It is possible it’s from one of the meds she’s on I just don’t want to make faulty assumptions.

    Hello,
    Most of the time people do not vaccinate chicks. But sometimes you can treat with antibiotics put into the water. What is the problem you are having?

He’s Peeing Regularly Now. No Blood No Strain. I Found Out He Got Tape Worms…

He’s peeing regularly now. No blood no strain. I found out he got tape worms again. He has diarreah because of it. I’m feeding him in small portions with the medication and water mixed in. He has an injured leg and won’t walk on it. I’m going to call the animal hospital and talk to them what to do about his leg. Its a little swollen. His paw has some damage and it looks scabbed. I’m pretty sure it’s from a cat fight of some kind. I’m not letting him outside anymore. Because of his diarreah he pees out side the cat box but it doesn’t bother me at the moment. We have tile floors. Have a job interview today. Hopefully I can get this job to help me Pay for a vet. Prayers for Sebastian please.

I Have A Female Boxador Who Weighs About 40lbs. She Has Eaten About A Half A…

I have a female boxador who weighs about 40lbs.
She has eaten about a half a slice of dark chocolate pie.
will she be okay?
We live in remote Alaska, with no immediate access to a clinic. What do you believe is the best course of action?

    If it has been within 3 hours I would recommend making her vomit to get the pie back out of her stomach.  Additionally, I would contact animal poison control and discuss this problem with them.  Likely she will be okay with just some gastrointestinal upset but poison control can give you better information.

    Good Luck, I hope she is fine.

    Even if you have no known allergies this sudden itchiness could be the result of allergies.  I would recommend a visit to your vet before your dog does some damage to his skin by itching.

    Good Luck

    Sorry to hear about your dog. Please take her to the vets, she might need antibiotics in case of an infection..and I don’t know of anything you can give her for pain that is in your medicine cabinet…NO ibuprofen, that is dangerous. Call an emergency vet in your area and ask them, do not medicate the dog yourself, could harm  her. I am sure a vet could tell you on the phone if there is something, but if she is in pain and has bite marks I’d really get her to the vets asap. Dogs have a lot of bacterial in their mouths, wouldn’t want an infection to set in. Hope she is ok.

A Few Months Ago, We Booked Him Into A Piggy Farm, Where He Had To…

A few months ago, we booked him into a piggy farm, where he had to learn to behave, and not to be aggressive, when he came back after 3 weeks he was calm and showed no aggression. That only lasted for about 4 months. He shows a lot of aggression towards my other female pot belly pig, and my family members.

    You need to get that poor dog to the vet now! Something like that you don’t stop to ask questions online, you just load him in the car and go!!!

  2. Olivia Lance

    Seriously, if a dog is acting like that, don’t look online go to the vet immediately!

    He is eating natures variety instinct raw boost grain free.

  2. Filippa Lundin

    this happened with two of my dogs too. Turned out they were gluten intolerant. Maybe you can try cutting gluten entirely out of their diets. 

  3. Brett Zurcher

    the food i am feeding him is natures variety instinct raw boost it is grain free and gluten free. 70$ a bag.

  4. Brett Zurcher

    Krista, do you recommend trying anything else to try and save money first before derm visit? It is 150 plus meds most of which you can buy online. I know there are lots of anti bacterial microbial drops you can buy. Tee tree oil, vinegar water mix etc etc.

  5. Brett Zurcher

    sorry i forgot to mention I have paid for 2 cytology’s at the vet and they come back as yeast every time. we have tried 2 prescription drops both seem to do nothing was just looking for another answer. Of course not trying to shortcut but not sure what else a vet dermatologist could prescribe or do that a vet could not. first puppy sorry i am new to this.
