My 5-month-old dog smells awful, drinks a lot, and has thick urine.

Question

I have a pit bull Great Dane mix. She about 5 months old. She has not been fixed yet. But plan to at the beginning of the year. She seems to have a foul smell from her rear end. Her breath is aweful as well. Her pee is very thick, and she constantly is drinking water. She gives off a horrible odor and she seems to be marking on everything like a male dog. It doesn't matter how much I bathe her she has a very strong odor. Please give some input! Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Rhodesian Ridgeback | Female | spayed | 4 months and 29 days old | 100 lbs

this is very concerning. Roxy may have a uterine infection or a kidney /bladder infection. she needs to be seen by a veterinarian, preferably in a pet ER tonight. She will need a thorough exam , blood tests, a vaginal exam, urinalysis and possibly x-rays. It is not normal for a young dog to emit such strong and bad odors. such odors are caused by bacteria (infection) or kidney disease, and the excessive drinking also points to a possible serious infection. Please take Roxy to a vet now.
