It's an antiseptic Drying Gel and Deodorant.
In the beginning we used it twice a day, then only once or twice a week. It seemed to keep his ears from getting that nasty brown stuff it them.
If you want I could send it to you since we don't need it any

And yes, believe me that yogurt does work well for gassy dogs. Angus could stink you out of the house sometimes when I'd forget to give it to him
Well, first off
But, maybe I would like to try it. I have tried everything I can get my hands on around here (non-prescription), and even some drops from the vet and nothing seems to help. We are seeing the vet on Monday for a regular checkup. I can't wait to see what she says when she looks in those ears--hopefully it's easily treatable.
It does sound promising in that you said you used it frequently in the begining, and were able to cut it down--I can't go anywhere near her ears, she flips out, but thankfully my husband can.
I incorrectly assumed that only the dogs with longer ears get bad ear infections--not true here!!!!
Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know after our vet visit.

And keeping with the topic, I bought some yogurt today and "tested" it out on the dogs--they loved it, and are all laying here beside me waiting for more
