My puppy has been licking herself nonstop for days, and her nether regions smell REALLY bad. Any advice?

I just noticed the smell today. She has been licking herself non stop and I am getting worried
Answers:
Vet. Most likely reason is plugged up or over-full anal glands, that need to be expressed.
maybe you can take your dog a bath with some type of anti anti-flea soap. Or even better take you pet to the vet. If she is still licking herself to much she might be allergic to something.
Phone your vet.
Take her to the vet and get it checked out.
Could be an infection or anal glands.
Take her to the doctor, she could have a very nasty infection.
Her anal glands probably need expressing. Take to groomers and have them do it when they do a full grooming.
You need to take to your vet ASAP. Then you'll know for sure, what's wrong with her...
Is it a sort of fishy order but REALLY strong? My puppy had this and it turned to that we needed to get his scent (anal) glands expressed. A quality groomer should be able to take care of this but if you want to learn to do it yourself, go see your vet.
Take it to the vet. Definitley. ~Her
take her to an animal hospital.
Go to the vet
usually when that happens, it means that their anal glands need to be expressed. take your pup to the vet or a really good quality groomer to have that taken care of.
I'm thinking it's the anal glands too.

A groomer can exprees the anal glands, but I would really suggest a vet in case it's something else.

If it is the anal glands and they become too impacted then in extream cases they can burst and the dogs life could be at risk. This happened to a friends Chihuahua. She needed surgery, but was fine, but in pain for quite a while. Best be sure and see your vet.
she probably has some sort of infection but you should call your vet just in case
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian, anything from tapeworms to infected, impacted anal glands can cause foul odor and irritation. Other possibilities are foxtails in the nether passages or other causes of abscess and infection, all of which will require veterinary attention to resolve.
