This might sound really strange but my 4 month old Basenji boy sporadically emits a foul odor from his butt - truly repulsive. I externally compressed the anal glands as instructed by my breeder (who said she has heard of this happening although none of her dogs are affected) and nothing happened - no discharge. The smell appears at random times - when sleeping, when excited - there really is no pattern. Any insights in dealing with this issue is greatly appreciated.
