Oh shit (literally) - I forgot about the anal glands. She doesn't have a problem now, but for YEARS my now 14 year old would secrete this AWFUL stuff. I'd take her every month or so to get them expressed, but she still did it. I tried expressing them myself once - there we were, her in the tub, me with a rubber glove. She just gave me a "Please, no" look and I couldn't do it. My other 3 pugs have no problems and she hasn't had any in about 3 years. It does have a "unique" smell because it never touches the poop when it's secreting on its own.
