I have a Shih Tzu, male, 8mnth. Does anyone know why my dog smells when I bathe & groom him regularly?
Yes! I know exactly what the problem is. I have the same breed and believe it or not; it’s the eyes that really smell. These dogs are prone to excrete tears that stain the hair about their face and can also if ignored create eye problems that can lead to blindness. You have to clean just around the eyes with a tear solution from any pet store. Use a cu tip and soak it with the solution. Carefully wipe around the eyes but do not go into the eye itself. When you have done that then you must take a cloth soaked in warm water and wipe again the same areas. I hate to say this but this should be done once every day. It doesn’t stop when they get older so be prepared for the dog’s lifetime to do this or your medical bills will soar.
