It may not have anything to do with the urine. Usually when there is a fishy smell, the Anal Glands are full and they need to be emptied, by a vet. The Anal Glands normally get emptied out, when the dog goes poop, but sometimes they get clogged and need to be emptied. It's a very easy procedure for the vet to do, and it is not at all expensive. You can do it yourself, but the first time it's always better to have a vet show you how, so the next time they need to be emptied, you can do it yourself. The reason a vet has to show you, is because they have to be emptied a certain way, in order not to cause injury to the dog. Usually with Anal Glands, people prefer to have a vet do it, because it is very messy to dog, and it really stinks when you do it. When I take my Chihuahuas to the vet, to get their Anal Glands expressed, it costs me under $20. I think it's a lot easier, for them to do it!

I would say he probably has some sort of medical disorder going on, I would take him or her to get checked as soon as possible him or her could have a underlyning infection.
