Sounds like the poor baby might need a good bath and some grooming and to have his coat/skin checked out by a vet.Cocker's eyes and ears, especially when they get older, are very prone to infection and can develop quite an odor if not cleaned regularly. And just being a very senior pup makes it more difficult to keep them clean smelling. He might also have some other illness that is affecting him, causing an odor. Do you know if they regularly take him to the vet's? Maybe you could very politiely mention that you felt a few scabs on his skin when petting him and perhaps they will explain what might be going on with him. It's so kind of you to care. I hope you can get them to talk about this with you.
