He usually just has the yeast in his ears, but sometimes it spreads to the top of his head, which it has right now above both eyes from him scratching. He has some small scabs so there's open skin, and I'm wondering if I should still use the 50/50 solution on it?
I haven't been able to find anything on what to do with broken skin. Is there something else I can put on the open sores or should I apply the solution? I'm going to try the yogurt everyday and vinegar baths, but I was concerned about spraying the ACV/H20 on an open sore. I don't want to make him more miserable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm hoping that after we get him going on these natural remedies there will be no more Benadryl, no more prednisone and expensive meds that don't even work! Thanks.

Thanks for all the ideas! I started the acv/h20 solution and its working! They love the yogurt and have been giving it to him everyday. He is getting better. I'm so glad I found this site. I stopped his Benadryl and we used to give him prednisone when it got unbearable for him, but I don't think he'll need it anymore, which is what I hope.
Thanks again everyone!

My Mom always kept Carobalated Vaseline (in brown jar) to use on all our dogs and cats. It always healed them. Might try a very old fashioned cure. Good Luck to you and your dog.

Try using aveeno oatmeal baths. Also, you can make a mixture of plain Listerine 1/3 cup, 1/3 cup of baby oil, and 1/3 cop of warm water. Mix and put in spray bottle and spray on open sores and scabs, it won't hurt him. Also you may want to give him some Omega 3 for dogs you can probably get it at the health food store. Hope this helps!

We have neighbors who use nothing except plain yogurt. They apply it topically to any area that has sore spots like the ears or belly area, and their dogs get about 3 TBS each of yogurt every day and they love it so much, they try to eat the spoon. I was told by my vet that it was about as good as any high-powered medication you could give them.
It's so simple because anyone taking an antibiotic is subject to having a flare-up of yeast infection, and they are advised to eat plain yogurt to avoid it. I'll never forget it again. Two different pharmacists and my doctor told me. Poor doggie. I feel sorry for him. Yeast infections can be the most miserable things to deal with.
Wishing you the best,

There is a website petMD.com that you can go to and ask all pet related questions. You can also friend Petfooddirect.com on Facebook and watch many great videos made by Dr Wendy. I know her and the people that run petMD and they are excellent sources of information related to pets.
I am looking for information about dog yeast infections.
Can canine yeast infections spread to other family pets?

I was going through earthclinic.com as usual, when I have something to share and I came across this article. It is a mini course in understanding Yeast Overgrowth, and Systemic Yeast Problems. I will do these preventative things first and the supplementation before I ever have my dog allergy tested, because most problems with itching and ear infections are not allergies but problems with yeast.
Here is the link:
My German Shepherd who is eight years old, has tons of yeast problems. I have her on pills to get rid of yeast and a special shampoo. Blackness around the ears, and on the legs and tummy, are signs of yeast die off, and it is a good thing to watch for these, so you will have a heads up of problems that need to be treated.
Yeast is not just a problem for dogs, it is also a buzz word in the autism community and one of the reasons for so many sicknesses we all have.
