I'm certainly not a Vet, but I have never had a foul smelling discharge come out of my female uro, or any of my female lizards. Even if they did mate.

Anytime there is a FOUL smelling subtance OR excretion coming from ANY area of your lizard its usually NOT a healthy sign.

Infection of some kind would be my opinion, I would have her checked, and have whatever the problem is corrected quickly!

Hope she will be smelling more like ROSES real soo, let us know how she does! Maybe others can tell you more.

yeah that does not sound good, on a lighter note, is there any way that she could have pooped on the rock and wallowed in it? BUT although poo never smells great, it should not smell too bad if it is healthy uro poo.
a vet check up could never hurt though i hope she is ok.

That's by best guess.Some kind of internal infection.
