Does he feel oily or gooey to touch and smell weird?

Yeast (Malassezia) Infections in Dogs

He's dry - dry coat, cottony - which is why the first thing we ruled out dandruff/dry scalp/flesh by first using the vets' prescription shampoo/conditioner for dry, itchy skin and he smells fine - the vet also is perplexed and smells him up and down (like lifts fur all over and pushes his own face into Rock Stars' coat and takes huge wiffs) and doesn't smell the yeast - in fact, the yeast that they did find was after found after a week-long culture to one of the skin scrapes...
