The best way to determine if it is indeed a food allergy is to put her on a white fish and rice diet.

Did the vet take a culture to determine if this was truely a yeast infection. There are several meds to take care of this and some strains are more difficult to clear than others Otomax, MOMETAMEX and a few others. I have a girl that continued to have ear infection....and took her to my one vet...it would clear up and then hit again. I then took her to my Dallas vet, who put her on Tresaderm.....her strain was resistent to the other meds. Since the Tresaderm, she's never had a recurrance of the infection and that has been over 4 years.

Keeping the ear canal devoid of hair and administering a cleaning agent with a drying additive and acidifier also assists in keeping infections at bay.

Keep in mind there are bacterial infections that attack the ear that require different meds to treat.

Good luck and work with your vet to get to the bottom of your baby's ear problems....
