If you have a spritz bottle, put some denatured alcohol in an spray the whole animal, let it set for about 30 min and do it again. Do it 3 or 4 times. That should kill what bacteria is there and dont touch it till it dries.
 As far as the smell I have no idea, if you fleshed and washed it good, I don't know what it could be.

The smell is the hide rotting with the DP until it can dry.

Did you switch to a hidepaste that might not be suitable for DP'd hides?

If you are having any hair slippage or odor with DP (or anything else for that matter) you did something wrong.   If that hide is properly thinned  it will not slip even with NOTHING on it.  My guess is it was not properly fleshed and perhaps you used a very wet water based hide paste.

I agree.  If you want it to dry fast, stick it in a closet with an electric heater.  But truth be told, you did something wrong Smiley

 Trying to keep my feet on track
 Doin' what was expected of me
 Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
