My 2 month olf male alaskan husky puppy's bum smells like fish. is this serious?

My male puppy just got over really bad round worms, we thought we were going to lose him and now 2 weeks later his bum is smelly like fish, and his bum looks a little swollen and red. should i take him in? is he going to be ok? is this an emergency?

It sounds like his anal glands need drained...A groomer or vet can do this for you but yes, it needs done.

Not an emergancy but it would be good to see the vet or groomer to have the anal glands drained.
Yes, I agree with the other doggie - sounds like the anal glads .... also, they may be infected and will need antibiotics from the vet.
