Our retreiver jumped in for a swim in a horrible lake?

Question

that was stagnant water etc will she be ok. Also I cant bath her as I have a bad back and cant lift but she stinks she is dry now but what can I do to stop the smell.

Answer 1

Hose her down before she ingests any of the smelly stuff.

Answer 2

She needs to be clean, get the hose pipe out!  I did my dog earlier today.  We haven't got a bath so I put him straight in the shower cubical.

Answer 3

Get out the hosepipe. Make it a game and she will love being cleansed.

Answer 4

Use a hose pipe in the garden and use some dog shampoo. Sit down next to her and rub it in her fur avoiding eyes and mouth and then rinse it all off and dry her a bit with a towel. If you haven't got any dog shampoo either go yourself and pick some up from a pet shop/vets, or ask someone else to do it for you. She needs to get clean though.  

Answer 5

hosepipe.

If the smell still doesn't go away (and I'd be surprised if it did) get some DOG shampoo onto her and rinse well.

Remember... the water is only icky to us, dogs think it's heaven!

Answer 6

If you can't give her a bath, someone has to. If you don't have anyone who can help you, take her to a groomer.  If there is a Petsmart near you, they do excellent work. If you leave her like she is, she could develope skin problems, not to mention the smell.
