Thanks for the help regarding the dog food and advantage advice. I agree with 
you about using an internal pill for parasites. something about that just 
doesnt seem good for an animal. I do worry about heart worm because it is very 
prevalant apparently where I live. I stopped taking her to parks or anywhere 
that she could come in contact with a lot of dogs because I havent wanted to 
give her the heart worm pill. The name of the herbal that I use for my beagle 
is called Veterinarians Best Ear Relief Wash and then there is a drying agent. 
IT is a two step process. It is around 21 dollars and well worth the money. You 
can purchase it at pet co and pet mart. If you dont have one where you live, 
the number is 1-800-866-PETS. You can order it thru the mail. My dog suffered 
terribly with ear infections and it was a constant route with antibiotics and 
then she would get fungus and we would have to use a blue anteseptic to wash 
that out. Now, I just use this product and it seems to
 clear her ears for a long time inbetween uses.They recommend using it all the 
time but I havent needed to. It is very important to use when the dogs ears get 
wet.
