Our beagle was continually getting yeast infections. We will not use the steroid drops b/c of possible side affects so the holistic vet suggested an all natural solution- vinegar mixed w/ equal parts water, and about 3 drops of iodine. Put it in an eye dropper and drop it in the ear once a day. You can also clean out the years w/ the same solution on a cotton ball. This worked to clear up one ear, but not the other. We cleared up the other using Lamisil Athletes Foot cream sprinkled into his ear every day for 2 weeks. He was completely cured. We found the problem kept developing, and assumed it had to be an allergy cause. We already had put the dogs on an all natural prey model raw diet because the grains in commercial pet food did not agree w/ them, so we couldn't cut out too many other unnatural ingredients. We had, however, been purchasing our Chicken at Walmart & it was enhanced w/ some sort of solution. We cut that out and he has been perfect ever since, no more problems. So, to sum up- vinegar, iodine and water; lamisil athletes foot cream; make sure his food doesn't have an ingredient that causes the allergy Is it a yeast problem that your dog has?
