I have a long-haired Ragdoll. He's overweight and isn't able to clean his own rear himself (no diet I try has been working for him given he has to eat a very special type of food for his joints and kidneys). Lately his backside smells like urine constantly, and no amount of cleaning I do makes it go away. I've used warm water, Dawn dish washing liquid, two types of waterless shampoo... nothing works. This afternoon I came home, and he had poop all over his backside. It took me a solid hour to scrub and clip what hair I could (with him being wild and me being an only parent). He smelled decent afterwards (when I released him from the bathroom), but after ten minutes I checked on him and he smelled like urine again!
I honestly don't know what to do. The groomer won't shave his backside because he's mean, and they'll have to sedate him, and the vet won't sedate him due to his kidneys. So I just... I don't know what to do to help. Surely that's not healthy, and he's leaving a urine smell all throughout the house, wherever he sits (especially on my bed).
Anyone have any advice? I could really use some help.
