Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| We have a 2 1/2 year old female husky that has a bad odor coming off her fur, mainly in her hind legs. It almost smells like feta cheese to be specific. It just started within the last year. We've done research on it and everyone says to check her ears for infection or anal glands but that's not where the stench is coming from, its her actual fur. It has started to get worse recently and now the smell is taking over our house. We have continuously brushed her and have bathed her with baking soda/mint combo shampoo (recommend by the groomers) but nothing seems to work. We are wondering if maybe changing her food might help? we have been feeding her kirkland brand since we have gotten her so I'm not sure if that's really it. Please help!! thanks!!

| Have you taken her to the Vet yet to see if there is an skin infection, yeast or gland issue? Sometimes the secretion from the glands can make the surrounding fur smell bad. Considering that it's coming from that general area, and has gotten worse, it might be a good idea to check with the Vet. |

| I had a similar issue with Hayden last year, but it was around his neck and smelt like baby peaches or spoiled milk! I tried everything!! After he blew his coat he was fine and it went away on its own. It was the weirdest thing!

| My dog had a similar issue, although she was showing other symptoms as well- it turned out she has hypothyroidism. I agree with the others- it wouldn't hurt to check in with the vet. It could be a skin infection or maybe even hypothyroidism. The husky/malamute breeds are really susceptible to hypothyroidism. Just my two cents |
