Molly smells weird

[flogging_molly]

I'm not too sure on this one.



My syrian Molly is really quite smelly, she doesn't have a soggy bum or have stained bum and she's pooing normally, but everytime i take her out she smells weird.



Her cage is cleaned out everyweek and is not smelling at all. Is there something wrong?

Is she in heat? that may be the reason why. I've heard that female in heat will tend to smell more muskey.

Some females do have an interesting scent of their own - how old is Molly? It can be more obvious when they're in season or in older girls. My Phoebe has somewhat of an aroma about her when you get up close, not very strong or hugely unpleasant but it is there, and like Molly her cage doesn't smell or anything, it's her.



If eating/drinking/pooing/weeing normally and no discharge or stained fur then I wouldn't worry too much.

keep an eye (or nose) on her if it doesn't go away then maybe see a vet...

can you see if her wee is normal coloured or blood stained
