But he and I have been lucky because,
usually with-in 24 hours the smell is gone,
so I figure it must have been released when
he pooped.
I'm pretty sure a Vet told me that normally anal glands release
fluid when the dog poops. Sometimes it doesn't happen or they are emptied enough & become backed up & infection can then
set in. It can be quite painful for them. Good news is it can be
fixed.
