Obese or overweight pets have a hard time reaching their butts which prevents them to groom themselves properly. The dirty anus can develop painful skin rashes. If left without treatment, it may develop into open sores, a perfect environment to develop a secondary bacterial infection. It can be challenging to treat this condition because the condition itself is already quite complicated in addition to its location.
This condition can also happen to pets with long hair that is already suffering from diarrhea and having dirty anus because the feces can get stuck to the hair in the surrounding area. This accumulation can cause it to become smelly when not cleaned properly. And pet owners usually realize that there is something wrong when they start noticing the smell, and there may already be a skin infection.
Any sign of illness displayed by your pet should require an appointment with your vet clinic Raleigh NC.
