    If it's a dead rodent, the smell will eventually go away. You could try to remove the vent and snake a shop vac hose down it, but other than that only time will get rid of it. Now if you want to tear into floors and / or ceilings you can certainly replace the ductwork. But time usually takes care of the issue.
