Why do my dog's ears stink and her skin is flaky? What can I do?

Question

Adopted dog ears stink and skin is flaky. Do you have any recommendations? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 7 years and 8 months old | 8.8 lbs

If Zoey’s eats stink she may have an ear infection. I would recommend a vet visit to assess as using ear cleaners in an infected ear can be severely painful in some cases. You can try adding omega 3 fatty acids to her diet with fish oils capsules to help with the flaky skin. Something like this. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/well-and-good-skin-and-coat-omega-3-dog-capsules Good luck and thank you for using PetCoach.
