Re: [Felvtalk] Help with Yeast Infection
Just remembered that when my standard poodle had mites, he groomer used powdered sulpher in her ears. Cleared them up fast.

Re: [Felvtalk] Help with Yeast Infection
My Annie who still tests positive is Healthy, active and rules the roost. Harley who is 18lbs, a great hunter and has an attitude, walks around Annie always with his eyes on her. He only problem is hayfever. Like me, when ragweed and horseweed are in bloom, he has runny eyes, sneezes and a runny nose. If she stays inside, she has no problems. If she seems healthy other than the ear infection, I would not worry about her. Have you looked into herbal treatments for her ears? I rely on herbs for myself and my cats, starting with Bragg's raw vinegar, I put a dropper full in ther water every time I refill their fountains. This is for Harley who had a problem with urine crystals. Since his first round, no more. Check out herbs for yeast problems with a holistic vet.
