Can I just give the dogs acidolphilus which is found in yogurt to ease the ear infections?

The dog has been to the vet and is on antibiotics. I am curious if the acidolphilus would help prevent future infections due to yeast.

I had two Lab Dogs over the yrs that both had constant ear infections, As fast as I got them cured it would return again, Nothing the vet Prescribed seemed to last,
My First Lab it turned out to be water, He loved water so much, whenever he saw any, even in a bucket, He would bury his head and blow bubbles then try to catch them. This put water in his ears and kept the cycle going, My second Lab to have ear problem (my current lab) I treated him with so many different things, Nothing would last, It always came back, So I started looking into his food being the culprit, I was right to do so, He cannot tolerate Wheat of any kind, After removing it from his diet he has been free of ear infections for almost a year now,,, Many Many dogs are forming more and more intolerances/Allergies to the foods they eat, and constant reoccurring ear infections is one of the signs to watch for....

Acidophilus will help build her immunities, but will do nothing to treat an active infection.

WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR YOUR OWN? no, because ear infections are very painful. Please take your dog to the vet. It's a total bargain compared to the cost of people care. This will be a simple appointment and dispensing of a product, probably less than $80. What would you say to a parent of an infant with an ear infection if they were unwilling to spend that for their crying baby?

I'm not sure about that but when our dog had a reoccurring ear infection. I took her to the vet three times. The medication that the vet gave me to use on our dog didn't work. I used a prescription cream that I had left from when I had a yeast infection. I applied it to her ear for about three days and it worked and never reoccurred.

Yes. you can give dogs about anything that you would give a baby according to our vet. I would also recommend that you try some homeopathic ear relief either in pill or drops. Just ask at a natural foods store. Hope you can get this whipped! God bless!
