Oh it's nasty all right. When Lyric was younger, he had a problem with that due to overly soft stools. If they're not fluffy or firm enough, they don't naturally express their anal glands when they go to the bathroom.....in a gradual, normal way. So, the stuff builds up and they leak. Gross. So, I found out how to do that and expressed them on occasion myself with latex gloves and paper towel and K-Y jelly. Very gross. Thankfully he doesn't get plugged up anymore due to a diet change.

So, if you notice this a lot and at times where nothing stressful happens, you might want the vet to check on it.

It is indeed the grossest smell there could possibly be. LOL.
