I have a "new" 7 year Chow Chow who was badly treated. He had three baths in a row on the day I picked him up before the water ran clear, so he was really clean.
He is really stinky three weeks later and has a really really oily coat. Is this normal? I've had chows (both dogs and bitches) before and they have not had this problems. I was waiting for his condition to come back and him to breath more easily (horrid panting 24 hours due to throat trauma but is at least 50% better now and not panting while asleep) before having him desexed but this will take place in the next week or two. Do you think this would help the way he smells and the oily coat?
