We have a 4 year old female Springer, Liver and White, and a little on the smallish side. Very healthy, very active dog. I don't hunt her but she gets plenty of exercise. About 2-1/2 years ago we switched both of our dogs to fresh food diets, rice being the only grain they get with chicken, pork or beef protein.
The Springer has had chronic yeast infection issues with her ears. She had been on at least six rounds of antibiotic ear drops over the course of the last couple years and yet we are having no consistent success with keeping her ears clear. She is professionally groomed and I clean her ears on a weekly basis. I have used both Apple Cider Vinegar and 50/50 hydrogen peroxide water mix on cotton swabs.
Could this be some kind of protein allergy? Her coat is smooth and very healthy so I'm disinclined to think its some kind of skin condition.
I hate that we can't get on top of this but after multiple trips to the Vet, with the same drops prescribed I"m beginning to believe she's becoming resistant to this one, I'm really reluctant to try something stronger and am beginning to wonder if the drops are part of the problem in fostering more yeast?
