This is perhaps the most common cause of odor that won't go away.

Anal sacs are two small scent-sacs in the area of the anus.

When a dog has a bowel movement, these sacs are normally squeezed and a very smelly, oily secretion is released with the feces.

Many people associate this smell with rotting fish.
