Brentney could have a severe infection in her mouth, or could have a foreign caught in the back her of mouth. I would take her into a vet right away, it's concerning to me that it smells like poop, and I would be worried that there may be dead or severely infected tissue in her mouth. She needs a thorough mouth exam by a vet, please take her into one now.
