I recommend to call your vet first. If you are noticing an odor, I am concerned there is infection. Normally Mira would need to be examined but with concerns for COVID-19, your veterinarian may change their protocol. Make sure to keep Mira inside at all times and have her wear an elizabethan collar at all times to prevent licking. I hope this helps.
