My dog has a yeast infection. I had an old Golden Retriever a few years back who developed a yeast infection and the vet treated it with antibiotics plus flushing out the ears and then putting drops in them. It went away for only a short time. His health went down hill fast and he was in great pain from hip displacia. I have recently read up on a type of fungus/yeast infection called Candida Albicans. It has all the same symptoms. Part of the cure is to give an enzyme that is found in yogurt. It said to give the dog Acidophilus to build up the natural enzymes in the stomach where this infection starts. The smell from the dogs body and ears are horrible. He gnaws at his feet and skin all the time. I have read from some of you that the ear canal and the stomach are not connected but you still went on to say give the dog a non grain food. This fungus/yeast infection works its way from the stomach and makes its way to most parts of the body, especially the ears.

So am trying the ear rinse of one part white vinegar to four parts water. twice a day, one Acidophilus a day and maybe some yogurt once a week. It can’t hurt. I also give him a children s antihistamine once a day for the itching. We will see how much better (if any) this will be then what the Vet prescribed for my other dog.

Does anybody know of any over the counter medicine for dogs that can be used to cure yeast infections? Right know he is using Virbac Epi-Otic advanced ear cleanser, that was prescribed by the vet. He was also prescribed an ointment by the vet, but the ointment made it worse. I have an appointment on the 15th of july and I wanted to try an over the counter medicine…. He’s a beagle. Thanks.
he has a prescribed ointment but he is not responding well. Only one of his ear is clearing up with the ointment the other is getting stinkier and redder….

My dog has a yeast infection in both of his years. What is the best home cure that I can do for him? He’s going to the vet at the end of the month. I want to try and help him before that so if it works he doesn’t have to go through this anymore.

I have looked into homeopathic remedies for my dogs ear infection and many say apple cider vinegar and water. Does it have to be apple cider vinegar or will white vinegar be ok to use?

After some research I think my dog may have a yeast infection on his skin. What’s a good cure? Can I feed him or lather him with yogurt? I know yogurt can keep humans yeast at healthy levels.
