Maltese has odor

20 10:00:20

Question
I just adopted a 2 1/2 yr old male Maltese and he has an awful odor.  I had his teeth professional cleaned, 8 rotten teeth were extracted, his anal glands cleaned etc.  This was suppose to rid him of the odor.  NOT.  He still smells.  I bath him every three days, and brush his teeth when I bath him.  He is an indoor dog.  He has not been neutered yet.  He goes outside to potty.  I keep him in a crate at night.  In the day time he follows me and/or goes in his crate.  Otherwise he is an angel.  The odor seems to be a body odor and not bad breath at this time.  He scratches a lot.  He does not have ear mites per vet.

Answer
Hello Marsha,  Sounds like yeast in his blood - systemic yeast is very common.  Let's get this kid onto a probiotic and some NuVET pet vitamins/ supplements.

A good probiotic can be found at the health food store or even grocery store... You can get some Acidophalus 1 Billion CFUs-
Give just 1/2 per day....long term / very safe and natural...

Next, please get this little one onto some NuVET plus wafers...
JUST 1 per day - long term..... Will help with the smell, teeth, legs, hips, joints and overall health.
It will also help keep the anal glands empty.

Believe me - the Acidophalus and the NuVET will do the trick!!!
