Yogurt

[Pam]

Well first of all welcome to Pet Talk!! Secondly, if the yogurt works I think many of us will be jumping up and down with glee! LOL! My Bella has been prone to yeast infections in her ears as well. It is often a poodle problem because fuzz grows in there and their ears need to have the fuzz plucked out. We do that, and the groomer does too, religiously but alas the ear infections continue. I have prescription ear wash and an ointment from the vet. It seems that once I stop the treatments it comes right back. A friend of mine at work uses a product that she got from Petco, although now I think PetsMart also carries it. It's called Veterinarian's Best and it comes with two bottles, one is the wash and the other is a drying powder. Actually the drying powder goes into the ears looking like lotion but dries like powder. It also works well but doesn't last.

I have changed Bella's diet to Nutro with the thought that maybe she had a food allergy. So far I don't notice a difference though. The vet also mentioned seasonal allergies as a possibility, but Bella's problem is off and on 12 months a year. Out of the 6 poodles I have had, 3 have had ear problems. Thankfully Ripley doesn't!

Anyway, sorry to ramble. I think there will be a run on yogurt at the supermarkets after this thread! LOL!

Edit: I forgot to say how adorable your dogs are. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more about them.

Cincy's Mom - In the past I too have given the dogs, and cats, tastes of the flavored yogurt and believe me it's a real hit!
