Question
Hi, I have a female English Bull Terrier about 3 year old She was neutered after her first season when she was about 1.5 yrs old. Just recentley she has been gettin a bad odor from her vagina i think, its quite unbarable any ideas what it could be? (ocasional white discharge)

Answer
Louise -

Have your pet examined by a veterinarian.  There are many reasons why her back end may smell bad - her anal sacs may be infected, she may have a bladder infection etc.  Your vet can help you determine the source of her bad odor.
