I noticed that she is scratching the ear again and the smell is from a yeast infection. She had one several years ago. She also has cancer and is incontinent. I will be calling the vet today and hopefully they will not ask me to bring her in as she has a hard time getting into the car without assistance. Shes a GH mix.
What med have worked best on your dog’s yeast infections and have any of you had luck with naturals remedies. I ask this because she is on medicine and really don’t want to add more. She’s and old girl of 13 and don’t wish to put her through anymore trauma. I even wondered if over the counter yeast medicine for vaginal yeast infection for women would work. Don’t worry, I won’t use it, but just curious as these meds do kill yeast. Thank you for any info.
To those who say I am irresponsible, better read this again. By the way, her cancer diagnosis and meds were over 00, pill foe incontinence are over a month. Her diapers are per month. She leads a good life. I feed her dog food mixed with boiled chicken so it is easier on her stomach and she likes it. So I would not say that I am cheap. I am trying to give her a quality life until the time comes which I am not looking forward to. She is a loving dog and a member of the family. Just want the least amount of trauma for her. Thank you for the caring and informative answers.

Dog has brownish substance and bitter smell in one ear. Amantadine was first used, and her ears were cleaned, and she still is showing signs of infection. I believe it is probably a yeast infection, and I would like to use some Diflucan to treat her. I don’t know doseage for and 85 lb Labrador.
I have many vets, and docs in my family, and I have diflucan on hand. I only have information on dosage for humans. I would only trust information that were consistant with information I already know… but thanks for the advice…
Non Amantadine… Augmentin…. my bad… I am not a vet, but I have many who are in my family who will be glad to help my when they are not working. I have a doc bringing me some diflucan, and I am just trying to figure out the correct doseage
I should’ve read the rest of the response before, but I needed to correct the amantadine mistake. As far as the topical goes, I have been using some Clotrimazole over the counter cream, but I am worried about going too deep in her canal. I also have worries about pushing any buildup down into her ear when I enter the canal with a swab. I would rather use oral and knock the infection out

If what you say is true, that is quite alarming. I understand that pretty much all store bought dog food is "junk" are mostly 50% filler (grain or rice). My dog would love nothing more to eat an "all meat" diet, and I would love to feed it to her, but there are also heath problems associated with that. Labs (and I think all dogs) have an inherent allergy to beef fat that causes theme to get ill in response to eating beef all of the time. All meat all the time will get expensive, too, can I put her on a meat and guts diet?
….Thanks for the information on how yeast may effect the overall health of a dog throught its life cycle, I will definately look into that information.
…. As far as the Blue Star, perhaps subtracting the alcohol from the mixture (and using the substitute) might be best. I dont think that alcohol would kill the yeast, and might cause drying and inflamation. It is probably something other than the alcohol in the ointment. thks

I have also seen yeast used as an ingredient in very many dog foods… What you say about yeast makes alot of sense…

Hi guys, I have 2 adorable male labs and I feed them a mix of white rice and jo-jo (chunks) dog food once everyday.
One of them has re-occurring yeast infection, which i treat with equal parts of vinegar and water every other day. I also put some drops of it in his ear. But the infection is so bad that if I don’t treat him with it for like 3 days, it comes back worse and i have to start all over again.

My other dog doesnt have a yeast infection but they both itch badly. I bathe them once in 2 weeks and they have their regular shots from the vet.

i don’t want to go the vet because when the yeast infection started, it went on for like 6 weeks or more and the vet couldn’t figure out what it was. He tried about 4 different medications that worked temporarily and finally didn’t know what to do. I got the apple cider vinegar treatment from the internet and it seemed to work ok.

what i don’t know is whether their diet is wrong. I don’t know what to do. could you please give me ideas on what they can eat if their diet is wrong or what i can apply on their skins for both the yeast infection and itchy skin.

Thanks a lot.
