Louie stinks so bad within 2-3 days of a bath!!! I can't figure out why.
Here is what I do & feed.
Bath with Zymox shampoo & conditioner. I've bathed him as often as every other week. I've gone as long as 8 weeks per my vet. He still smells.
Food: Last Sept. I switched to primarily frozen raw (Northwest Naturals). I occasionally supplement with Zignature kibble, soaked in bone broth. He also gets Carna4 which is a ground sprouted seed digestive aid. I think he costs more to feed than my teenage son.
Snacks: Frozen green beans, bananas, or Grandma Lucy's dehydrated white fish (soaked to rehydrate of course).
I clean his ears with witch hazel.
I clean his tail pocket with Helene's essential oil mixture.
He is not super wrinkly but I use un scented baby wipes and bully paste for face.
I give him filtered water with a squirt of Zymox water additive. Have also tried ACV in the water in the past.
He won't let me do foot soaks, he acts like I am dipping his paws in lava. In fact, he won't really let me touch his paws at all.
He scratches his ears a lot. He chews his paws constantly. It seems like his breath and paws are the smelliest bits.
Eyes are always runny. Vet had me do Benadryl, doesn't seem to help.
Any thoughts?
