My golden retreiver, Sam, is the stinkiest dog in the world. He has horrible black skin under his armpits and in his groin area. He is also prone to ear infections. I read that the skin thing may be some kind of seborrhea and I would love to know if anyone knows how I can treat this. Thanks.

Make sure to only try one new thing at a time. If he reacts or responds to something you will know what it is and won't have to guess.

I have decided to try an antifungal but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm also going to give him Brewer's Yeast tabs (with garlic from the pet store) and maybe some Acidophilous too. If I have any results I'll let you know.

Sounds like a yeast infection. My Shadow had/has the same thing. He takes an antibiotic to clear it up. The ears have cleared up but the skin in between his legs is still red with mottled black areas. He will start on his second round of antibiotices today.

My golden also has this problem. We have tried the thyroid, cortisone, special shampoos, and changing food but he is still not well. i read on the internet that it could be a systemic yeast infection. what would be the treatment for this? any ideas on this?

My dog is a golden and had the same thing, I went to the vet many times and got medicine and it would clear up and would come back. Until one time a different doctor at my vet told me he may have food allergies and to change the food. It worked he is eating California Naturals a dry food, and as a treat I give him Wellness wet food and make my own treats as the additives in commerical treats effect him too.

My dog had that problem some years ago. Finally a vet tested his thyroid. The skin( and smell ) problems were due to a problem with his thyroid. He is on medication for this now and is fine.
