Hi Guys,
My little man is 11 weeks old but he kinda smells fishy. He has been having a bunch of runny poops the past week. Should I try to squeeze them?

| I wouldn't think it'd be necessary yet. Is the smell coming from his rear end? Runny poop is usually what causes a buildup, but 11 weeks is pretty young for it to have become a problem already from what I understand. Maybe ask your vet what he or she thinks. |

I'd ask the vet. Hemi needs it done every 6-8 weeks! 
The entire house smells like... well, you know.
My vet simply said "some dogs need it more than others". |
