Hi
Trigger's smell is coming from either his breath (check teeth), his ears (are they waxy or inflamed?), his anal glands (have they been emptied recently?) or his skin generally (normally a yeast infection, requiring 2x weekly shampooing with a medicated shampoo such as Malaseb).
Try adding some Evening Primrose Oil (1 capsule) to each meal to help moisturise the scurfy coat.
