I have heard that Rotavirus diarrhea has a very distinctive odor. One that you do not forget once you've smelled it and one that allowed nurses to correctly diagnose 69% of Rota babies in a hospital study based on smell alone.
So, I think dd might have Rotavirus, but I'm not sure. Her diarrhea definitely smells different than her normal poop. I can smell her gas and when she fills her diaper from across the room. I cloth diaper and I removed as much of the diarrhea as possible before washing and sprayed with Bac-Out. But after washing her diapers today with my normal routine, they still reeked. They smell something like sharply sweet wet dog...?
For those of you that have experienced Rota, can you describe the smell for me?
Thanks!
