<< So, I promised I'd post to the list asking if there is a way to PREVENT an ear yeast infection, like maybe something she can add to Max's diet? >> MOST (not all) canine yeast ear infections are linked to an allergy. The tissue in the ear swells with fluid in the tissues as an allergic reaction and the warm, moist condition is perfect for yeast as well as bacteria. Yeast is not one of the most common organisms found in the canine mouth; much more likely to get bacterial problems from oral "bugs". Regular cleaning with a canine ear cleaner and occasional dusting with a canine ear "dust" (both available at most large pet stores or via catalogs and on-line) will help, but reducing exposure to allergens is needed to fully prevent recurrance.
