Have a girl we are breeding. On day 13 and very stinky since day 3 or 4. Everything else normal, have done 2 AI's so far. Doing another tomorrow. Girl has had 2 litters in the past. Don't remember her smelling bad during other breedings.
I have seen girls who smell during seasons (but has always been outside girls brought in for breeding. Wondering what could cause this?
Any thoughts?

We have a bitch(now retired) that smelled horribly when in heat. It turned out that her vaginal tract tilted during her heat cycle in such a way that it pooled blood and urine inside her. Bacteria grew and combined with old blood smell was unbelievable.

Interesting. Thanks Mike. Did she ever have any fertility issues?
My bitch has had 6 and 9 pups in her other 2 litters. She is a great producer and I don't want to take any chances.

might benefit to put her on 30 days of amoxicillin

That's how the boys know the girls are in season. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Yes, we didn't get her pregnant until we did a surgical.

After that, we were recomended by a repro specialist, to spay her. The health of the tissue in her vaginal tract was not good and deteriorating.
