Stinky dog
I've been Dooby's mom for almost a year. She's my first basset and a rescue who's about 8 years old. I quickly became aware of the basset odor that accompanies her, but in the last month, she REALLY stinks! Not the normal basset stink, but like (for lack of a better comparison) an anus. I took her to the groomer's last weekend thinking her gland needed to be expressed, but 2 days later the stench is back. Any ideas what this could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it her ears? Mouth? Feet? Did the groomer say anything about her anal glands? Like were they full, impacted, infected?
Or does she have gas? LOL...just covering all bases.

I would have the vet check her over for any medical issues, suck as ear infection, skin infection, lip fold pyoderma, anal glan problem, dental issues etc.
Have you changed her diet recently?

it is a lot harder to sneek up on them wrascally wabbit if you smell like a basset, smelling like a fox though should help much either but then again wabbits might not be afraid of fox poop

Thanks for all the info. She gets baths, so it's not something on the outside of her. I know it's not her ears because when I adopted her, her ears were VERY stinky! The vet helped me get that part under control. Because of the distinct smell, I think it was something to do with her anal gland. The groomer said it (her gland) was normal and the funny thing about it is: it's not constant. It might be bad for 3 days and then go away for a week. She goes to the vet soon for her yearly and we'll hopefully find out what's going on.
