A Schnauzer smells bad and keeps shaking his head - ear surgery

Lateral ear canal resection surgery resolves the chronic ear problems of the Miniature Schnauzer with hairy ears. "We dare not go near him when he has body odour," the lady told me. The bad skin smell was due to the dog scratching his ears, biting his flanks to relieve his ear itches, over many months. His ears were smelly with pus and he would keep shaking his head all day long.
After veterinary treatment of ear irrigation and ear hair plucking and medication, he would recover for a while. Then the body odour recurs and the family members avoided him like plaque, They all love him but the body stench was unbearable for the human beings. 

I advised the lateral ear canal resection which is videoed here. As at Mar 26, 2014, (12th day after surgery), the dog is at home. "He keeps shaking his head when out of the pen," the owner was unable to clean his ears. He had two sedation to clean his ears. Two more days, his stitches will be removed and he should live a much better quality of life with no head shaking and bad body odour .
