My dog has a serious case of stink butt!!!?

His butt leaks a mysterious liquid every few months that has a strong rusty odor. He's a Doberman, B&T Hound mix about 1-1/2 yrs old. I know dogs have a secretion that comes out when they poo, is this the same thing? If so, why is it coming out when he's chillin' on the rug? What do I do?

    It sounds as though his anal sacs are impacted. You will have to take him to the vet and have them show you how to clean them out. Usually, there is not problem and the anal sac expel some of their contents each time the dog goes poo. But, in some cases, they don't do their job and they become clogged with some very smelly stuff. Also, many groomers perform this service and may be willing to show you since I doubt that your DobermanXB&T needs a groomer.

    He may be the type of breed that has to have his anal glands squeezed more than another breed. I would take him to the vet or to a place where they groom, they can squeeze his glands there. I heard that secretion stinks, luckily, I have never seen or smelled that!

    Good Luck.

    Sounds like his anal gland need expressed. Take him to the vet for a check up.
