my dog has ear yeast infection, what are some home remedies to curing my dogs ear yeast infection without having to go to the vet and spending a fortune. could someone please answer this for me. my dad feeds him 5 hot dogs everyother day, ive told him not to but he just doesnt get how dangerous this is, & could someone also tell me what makes hot dogs bad for dogs???

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….

I have been doing some research and am trying to help my pooch. He was treated before for yeast and I believe that it is reoccurring.

He has about a 3-inch bye 1/2 inch strip on his bottom lip that has hair loss and is red and dry. I have him on Blue Buffalo Diet Fish and Potato, with no corn, wheat, or soy, but it does have whole ground brown rice as the second ingredient’s. I heard grains can be an underlying cause of yeast also. But it does have active ingridients that are found in yogurt that help cure yeast infections.

What should my next step be, the vet last time just popped him some shampoo, spray, ear cleaner, and meds. But this time it is just around his one top and bottom lip effecting mostly the bottom… he is allergic to perfumes also….
Complete meat diet?
Skin scraping?
Thyroid test?

Thanks everyone!
No my dog doesn’t drink beer

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.
