Jumping on the bandwagon but my labradoodle can have the foulest smelling anal gland release. It is like nothing you've ever smelled before. He also had psedomonas (sp.) ear infections for the first year and 1/2 of his life that was extremely difficult to cure. DEFINITELY contact your vet.

I felt like such a failure as a pet parent because his Core Wellness fancy grain free food made him so sick. He's doing so much better now and gaining back the one fifth of his body weight that he lost.
