Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Bad smelling urine could mean a possible urinary tract infection or bladder stones. I recommend getting her pee checked for infection and stones. Bad smelling feces can mean food allergies, disoders in absorption, a problem with the exocrine pancreas, or just poor quality food. Try changing the food to something higher quality. Also, avoid any raw meat or bones in her meals as this causes many GI issues and makes smellier poop. Best of luck with Naughty!
