I am so sorry! Talk to your groomer and ask what products are used in your babies' ears. Is there any difference on amount of plucking going on? Some dogs must have their hair plucked, others do better just leaving it alone and combing to remove strays (kind of like plucking nose hair in humans can lead to infection).

Do their ears appear to be waxy or dirty before the infection starts? I use a tiny flea comb with very closely spaced teeth to comb ear hair every day.

After baths and maybe in between, use an ear cleaner with a drying agent in it to dry excess moisture and wax.

Food is possibility. Yeast overgrowth too. A probiotic supplement may be worth a try.

I hope you can find a solution to prevent future infections.
