malodorous malady

Baxter is our fourth dachshund, but our first to give us reason to research the topic of overactive canine anal glands. Sure we had the occasional "what IS that smell?" with our last pair of boys, but they seemingly outgrew their mysterious malodorous moments. We never really had to figure out what that smell was until we were gifted with the same odor for several days in a row from Baxter's beefy behind. Two anal gland expressions, one course of antibiotics, and one steroid shot later, we are again faced with figuring out what's up with this pup's very overactive anal glands. Other than making with the stinky, he is the same happy go lucky barky pup that he's always been. Firm poops, no scratching, no scooting. So what's the deal? We'll see what the vet has to say tomorrow.
