Poor Skitzer sounds very itchy! He may have food allergies or environmental allergies triggering ear infections, perianal itching, and paw-chewing. The smell could be a yeast or bacterial infection in the ears. He needs a vet visit so he can get the appropriate antibiotics, ear flush, and anti-inflammatory medication to make him feel better and stop itching!
