Sorry for the disgusting title but this whole subject is disgusting and sad
DDog is 14 and the last few days he's been really stinky, last night I was cuddling him and he smelled like poo so I checked him and he had big lumps of dried in poo all round his bum. I cleaned the area with baby wipes, and trimmed the hair short round there. He's a border terrier cross so has a wiry coat that doesn't need much grooming. Also gave him a bath so he's nice and clean.
He went into the garden and did a poo so I checked his bum and wiped it with baby wipes again and there was still poo there. I've never had anything like this with him before.
Has anyone else had this problem ? Is it just a part of him getting old and I'll have to wipe his bum every time now ?
