 yeast question
I posted a while back about how Jess always gets that wet dog smell within a day after her bath. Any way I couldnt figure it out until the groomer said she has yeasty ears. Not an infection but yeast. She didnt think she needed a vet and the vet had seen her the day before and said they needed to be cleaned and plucked but no infection. So she was going to the groomer next day anyway so I let them do it. She smelled GREAT ...for a two days..then back to wet dog smell and she was itching under her chin alot (she does that anyway) I didnt realize yeast can spread and i think she prob has it there too.
So I bought the ear cleaner but have just given her a bath and rinsed her in a solution of half white distilled vinegar and half water. I also cleaned her ears as best I could (dont know what im doing so just used the solution on a cotton ball) I then gave her dinner with a scoop of plain greek yogurt. I am stopping any treats that contained sugar for now (even veggies) potatoes etc in her wet food. I am giving her only her royal canin and some boiled chicken. Is there anything ese I should do? Is royal canin right for a dog with yeasty ears? I may be nose sensitive but it really bothers me. It even makes my chest tight... |
