:huh: :blink: awlful smell ?? :o When my dog comes into heat, she smells pretty good, love to stick my fingers in her and lick her out, and mate with her while she is in heat. It is great,, drool............ :wub: :devil2:

my dog starts to smell like a rotting animal??? Whats urs smell like?

Well it is possible that that smell is normal for her. It is also possible she may have something else going on like a vaginal infection. I suggest taking her to the vet for an examination.

.....Or she found something lovely, sweet smelling, and 3 weeks dead to have a good roll in....... :sick:

She shouldn't smell rotten. I'd take her to the vet if I were you.

smell comes from bacteria usually, (sweat in humans is basically odorless until bacteria start eating it, then it stinks, the same goes for blood, breath, vaginal secretions, etcetera).

check your girl with a vet, an extra alarm would be that her fluid isn't clear, but milky and colored, that means a big infection.

hope this helps

Oh, dear-- Dr Kan reminded me of something--

Pyometra looks a lot like heat-- Swelling, redness, tenderness, discharge-- and oh yes, a smell.

If it is, this demands prompt vet care; delays can cause death. Get thee to a vet, man!

if it was prometra would she flag like in heat? Shes going as soon as possible

Thanks for all the help too!!

Well for now, for aguments sake, I will assume that you know for a fact that she is currently in her normal heat. If that's the case then, as before, I suggest hitting up a vet. Its impossible to tell what your smelling over the internet. It might be normal, and something you just don't like, or it might be a bacterial infection of some sort.

Pyometra on the other hand, does not occur while they are in heat, they usually become symptomatic 2-6 weeks after their heat cycle ends. It may or may not be demonstrated by purulent vaginal discharge. There are other things but for now, I'd hit up the vet.

just a thought but did her anal glands open up while you were rubbing back there .on my girl if they open up the smell almost takes your breath away just a thought but id take her to the vet to make shure :D

My girl smells fuc**** amazing when shes in heat...you may have to take her to the vets

I did take her to the vet, she said that it was her anal glands and that every thing was ok.

I sure does take your breath away. :sick: i had to go outside to let the oxygen back in my nose. :lol: :lol:

First rule of thumb "if in doubt, take her to the vet" ASAP. :thinking:

When do I get to go in heat
