Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to a secondary infection. Even if not treating the tumor per se, I recommend antibiotics. You can have your veterinarian take a look at her and if they agree, antibiotics can be prescribed at that time. This is likely to improve the smell and infection but also improve her comfort. Good luck and have a great day!
