How can I put this..? Um. Has your grandmother always been a bit unreliable around property? Otherwise, assuming the answer is a firm no, her shoplifting behaviour is a marked change which you could usefully report to her doctor. I gather from your profile that you are 30 - how old are your mother and grandmother? Whose house is it that you're all living in?
It is also cruel and hazardous for the dogs to be living in these conditions. As a last resort, call the SPCA and ask them to send round an inspector to threaten her with prosecution (they don't actually have to proceed with it!).
Pathologists and crime scene investigators put dabs of Vicks or similar under their nostrils - you could try that as an emergency measure. Good luck, let us know how you get on.
Are you able to leave? Get a job, get yourself out of this mess? You can't help her at this point, you can only bring help in to save her from herself. Someone needs to be appointed guardian, which is an expensive process. Sounds as though it might be better if you let the State take over.
It can be pretty bad and filthy in a lot of ways, and APS or social worker can agree it's bad but not unsafe or unhealthy enough for grandma to continue to live there.
I'm so sorry for you. You might have to just move out if you can't stand it...I know I would.
But if you must stay, hold your ground and continue to clean and throw everything contaminated out. Take the dogs regularly with or without grandmas permission or call in animal control to look at conditions and give granny a good scare that animals will be removed if she doesn't clean up her act --dogs and granny's pee and poop!
If you can afford it. Rip up the carpet and put down tile or hard surface in granmas room.
Good luck.
