Alright, I just got back from the vet . . . 327$ later, here's what I know.
Odin has allergies, and a yeast infection in his ear caused by said allergies. His bloodwork won't be back until tomorrow, so that's all I know for now. The vet gave us some ear drops for Odin's ears, but won't prescribe any allergy treatment until the bloodwork comes back.
The vet also agrees that Odin is most likely trying to manipulate us into giving him better food, but he also thinks his allergies could be contributing.
Odin has lost almost 15 pounds, so he's now on a prescription diet to fatten him up. He ate some of this new food just a few minutes ago and so far, he loves it.
All in all, although our pocketbook is suffering for it, things are better. I'm hoping that Odin will keep eating this new kibble, I think he might considering he didn't even touch the old stuff we bought.
Here's hoping his bloodwork comes back fine.
