Possible infection: Urine can smell from a variety of reasons. Medications and foods can make urine smell funny or bad. We worry about infection and dehydration, however. She should definitely get examined.

Needs a urine test: Foul smelling urine is due to dehydration, infection, or from medications being excreted through the urine. She needs to be seen and have tests performed.
