Try a different shampoo!
On the bichon forum I am on, we had one person adopt a jack russell, age 7 months, from the local shelter. She said similar, this dog STINKS constantly! Come to find out, it was a host of issues!
Well, she's had the dog to the vet a few times, and finally changed vets on our advice. The first vet never found a thing, and it cost her 1500 pounds (she lives in England). Come to find out:
- the poor girl had worms, and odor can be a symptom of worms
- poor girl ALSO had demodex mites! again, odor can be a symptom of that too
Treatment for both, now been 2 weeks (the shampoo treatment for the mites is still going on) and NO ODOR.
Please don't give up and "assume" he is just a smelly boy!
