The smell is likely coming from the anal glands even though you don't seem to think it is coming from her anal region. The anal gland fluid has that fishy/skunky odor. The other option is that she has a bladder infection (UTI) and if left untreated can turn into a very serious issue. The final possibility is that her diet or any supplements she is taking is causing the odor. Regardless, she needs a vet exam to get this figured out. I don't think it's an emergency but try to take her in soon.
