I recently read that a product from Petco called 'Vet's Best Ear Relief Wash and Dry' helped their dog with ear problems related to yeast infections. I would like any info regarding treatment for this problem. I have tried the raw diet, I saw no improvement. She began to refuse to eat and had constipation issues with vomiting.

Have you been to the vet? I had a cat whose entire digestive system backed up; his entire intestines and stomach were full on an x-ray. They were able to clean him out, and I stopped feeding him dry food completely, just canned, as he was'nt drinking enough water, and that seemed to straighten him out. If you have'nt been to the vet, please take your dog to a reputable vet. If they get completely blocked, they will vomit up food, and can even die.
Have you been to the vet yet? I had a cat whose entire digestive system got blocked up and backed up. He vomited up his food. It showed that his intestines and stomach were completely full on an xray, and they were able to get him cleaned out.
She is doing better. Yes, I have taken her to the vet. She has a yeast infection. The raw food diet did not agree with her system. The steroids they gave her seem to only cover it up. It keeps reacurring. I am now using the Petco product and it seems to be working well. I just wanted more info on the product and any suggestions regarding the yeast infection. Thanks all for your concerns!
Sorry if I sounded preachy. Just did'nt want others to experience what our kitty did. So glad that your pet is doing better!
You didn't say what breed of dog you have. Some breeds have hair in the ear that you can keep pulled out. Yeast is usually there because something else is going on with the ear. It could be allergies, moisture in ears, masses in ears, or other infections. The allergies can be food or environmental. Does the dog lick its feet often? If so, then allergies are probably the underlying cause. You can try to prevent the infections by cleaning the ears weekly with a ear cleaning solution that acidifies the canal.
My 8 yr. old German Shepherd had been treated for ear infections for years, being prescribed mild steriod drops that helped. I finally switched completely to cleaning his ears with a couple of drops of almond oil on cotton balls and cleaning his ears every few days. He loves the softness of the cleaning compared to other products and now lets me clean deep inside. There have been no more infections. When I see his ears look a bit dark inside I do the cleaning.
