My new puppy has fishy-smelling poop and pees indoors. Is this normal?

Question

Good afternoon! I have just picked up my dog home for 3 days, she doesnt't go to wc on right place and the feces smell fishy. Can you tell me whether my dog is normal or has something not good? Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 17 days old | 11 lbs

Sometimes normal excretions from the anal glands can smell fishy and this could be what is making Cheese’s stool smell. If Cheese continues to urinate inappropriately I would recommend seeing a veterinarian to make sure she doesn’t have a urinary tract infection or other lower urinary tract disease.
