  • I am assuming this is your dog or cat if so i would take her straight to the vets,the blood in the pee is a bit worring.
  • What specifically would you like to know? Alternative treatments to western medicine? How to decide if the time is right to consider putting her down? Has she been to a Vet lately? The body odor can be caused by different factors, her breed...some do seem to develop more oily skinned body odor as they age. The type of food she's being fed, can be a contribution to the odor, either by what's in the food, or because she is ACTUALLY ALLERGIC to something in the food. Allergies to other things, including grass, vaccines, household cleaning products or lawn care products can also cause reactions that can make a dog stink. Whatever is causing the blood in her urine can be causing the stink. She needs to be treated for the Ear Mites as well. Did a Vet diagnose that she had ear mites? If so, why was it not treated by the vet? What type of drops did you treat it with? Did you get the drops from the Vet? Most ear mite treatments usually do work fairly well, if used correctly and for the amount of time needed for them to work. What information would help you best here?
  • I think it is time to have poor fluffy or fido put to sleep as she is a very sick pussycat or dog.
  • Take her to your vet. I have a 14 yr old dog who stinks even after a bath, but she's allergic to fleas, etc. Her back legs go sometimes and she lost an eye to a snake, but the other eye has a cataract. Due to this, she falls over when she's not sure where she is. She's still housebroken, barks to come in and can still climb stairs. She was vomiting every morning a few weeks ago so I changed her to Home Style canned food and the vomiting stopped. She has had blood in her stool for about 5 years now and the doctor can't find anything wrong. She has lumps all over her body, but still he says she's healthy and we would not even consider putting her down until she's ready. She'll let us know. Ear mites come and go, you have to have her treated as they're microscopic. Does she shake her head a lot? Could be an ear infection which is causing the odor. No one here has the right to tell you to put her/him down. If your dog is large, he may have hip dysplasia, which is common in big dogs. If not, he might have had a stroke. My dog is in no pain. She eats very well and drinks well and gets along with my other dogs. She's just old. If yours is in no pain, she can live a long time if you treat the mites and her urinary tract infection, which she seems to have. Bring a sample of the urine to the vet or you will have to follow her around there instead. :) Good luck! Don't forget, the Vet is your first answer.
  • Blood in her urine is suggestive of kidney trouble. She may be in a lot of pain. Vet.....now!
  • Dogs don't usually get ear mites so you could be dealing with a fungal infection. The blood in the urine - a UTI - urinary infection which could be minor and treated with antibiotics. Take her to the vets. 10 is young in this day and age to put a dog down, especially without a vet's input.
