I have been reading a lot of posts with dogs that have similar symptoms as my male "Bear". I noticed maybe withing the last month and a half he has a strong odor which is not pleasant. I can give him a shower and 2 days later he stinks. I'm lost for words... Do I have a stinky dog or what? Any recommendations to help? He is on Natural Balance sweet potato and venison because he has a sensitive stomach. I have tried all other food and his stoll just turns to soft. I took him to the vet last Friday because he had a tar looking discharge from his ears and some bumps on his back right below his collar and on the sides.The vet told me he had a Yeast infection in his ears and gave me TrizUltra + Keto cleanser and mometamax 15 g for his ears he also said it looks like he had hives and gave him a shot of Dexamethasone. a few hours later the bumps were gone and I thought it was ok but the next day after I get home from work I see the bumps returned but not as bad. I was told by the vet I could give him benadryl and I would need to give him 125mg... Is this dose ok? He is 1 year old and weighs 94 lbs. I was told his skin was dry probably because the shampoo I used to wash him and he might have sensitive skin so I got him a medicated shampoo I think it is from espree... His skin is pretty dry and flakes are visible but getting better. I have a female and they are inseparable but she has nothing wrong with her. They have are outside dogs and sleep in the garage. They spend their day playing between concrete, gravel and a wood deck. Both eat grass like crazy. Sorry for the long post but I'm in need of some advise and not don't want to be taking him back and forth to the vet spending an arm and leg every time with false hopes. The picture from this post is exactly what the bumps look like. Thanks for the help in advance.
