[QUOTE="donna723, post: 571390, member: 1883"] Dogs [U]can[/U] eat plain unflavored yogurt and a spoonful or so is often added to their food to help with digestive issues but I wouldn't count on it for ear problems. I honestly wouldn't fool around with home remedies where their ears are concerned because a deep-seated ear infection is very painful, can be very hard to cure and can damage their hearing. A trip to the vet is in order. They can get yeast infections in their ears and there may or may not be dirty-looking stuff in their ears. My Katy got one that appeared virtually overnight. Her ears were bright red inside, felt hot to the touch, and bothered her a lot. A few days of using ear drops from the vet and she was fine again but you need to catch it early. If there is a lot of dark, smelly, gunky material in the ears it's probably ear mites but again, not a do-it-yourself project. The vet can gently clean the out the ear and give you ear drops or an ointment that will kill the mites quickly. [/QUOTE]
