Stevey spoke these words of wisdom in
:

The problem can apply to both sexes. We had a Basset with the same
problem and eventually had the glands removed. That's s delicate
process and should be done by a vet who has experience in such things.
In the mouth, those wouldn't be scent glands. they would be abscesses. And
they would be very putrid. Because the dog is in trouble and needs a vet.
