[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 577567, member: 84"] Well.......after having raised basset hounds........to me her ears are floppy but hardly there at all. LOL Sort of hairy because her fur is long. I doubt seriously she'd hold still for a trim if I can't get drops into them though. I can stick her most favorite food right at her nose......and it doesn't help. To be honest, I'm not so sure we cleared up the first yeast infection. She felt better with no obvious symptoms........but we were having no better luck getting drops into her ears then than now. So if she did get over it, her body did it all by itself. Maybe we got just enough drops into her that it cut back on the number of bacteria but didn't wipe them out. I'm not sure yet whether this is going to be an ongoing issue or not. I think she first got it off of Molly.......by cleaning Molly's ears, which Molly actually enjoyed and I did my best to discourage. I can't prove that but since Molly had issues once in a while.....seems reasonable. I think it we could truly get it cleared up she might not have it again. How is brewer's yeast going to help a yeast infection?? Somehow that just doesn't sound right. LOL (might work, but sounds odd) Shoot at this point I'm about to go out and buy a quart of buttermilk except I'm pretty certain it would cause diarrhea. Antibiotics can cause a yeast infection but not all of them do, plus there are those who are more susceptible to yeast infections than others when taking antibiotics. I can take them and have never had an issue. Poor mother in law just looked at an antibiotic and she was downing buttermilk by the quart to get rid of the yeast infection that never failed to show up half way through treatment. It probably is similar in dogs unless their physiological make up is a bit different. Vet gave Molly a really powerful one that knocked it out every time. Molly also held still so I had no issue getting it into her ears either.:crazy2: [/QUOTE]
