I've been a lurker for a while, and I've usually found the advice I've needed by looking through the threads, which is awesome.

I've got a year old male, Winston, who is completely healthy (according to my vet) except in the last 6 weeks, he's developed a sour odor that seems to originate from his face or beard? When the smell first developed, we took him to the vet, and he thought it was a possible yeast infection in his ear, and they gave him antibiotics. However, the smell didn't go away, and we brought him back in for further testing. On our 2nd visit to the vet, a skin scraping was done, and we were told that his skin is completely healthy. Our vet suggested that it was possibly something in his diet that is causing the odor.

We've changed his food back to wellness, and the smell is still there. Now i'm completely at a loss at what's causing the smell!!!

Has anyone else encountered this? Could it be possibly some other issue?

Thanks so much in advance!!
