UTI or genital tract infection, renal failure (unlikely) or possibly severe skin infection could be all realistic possibility in this case. Without a more detailed description of the smell unfortunately it is difficult to give you more specific answers. If amoxicillin is not effective, I would recommend to have her checked again and have some blood test and abdominal ultrasound performed as well to rule out other differentials.
