Well it turns out he has a yeast infection in his ears caused by hair that i didnt pluck. I didnt even know i was supposed to. I feel like such a bad mommy the vet pulled a lot of the hair out and there was so much. I felt so bad for him. Im giving him drops in his ears so he's on his way to an itch free world.

I have to pluck my puppy's ears, she doesn't seem to mind.
I have to do it every few weeks.
Also put cotton balls in your dog's ears while bathing to keep moisture out and dry well afterwards to keep risk of infection down.

I used to have a bulldog that would get yeast in his ears because bf would give him baths and get water in his ears, it was pitiful. Glad you got him some medicine. The only dog I though you had to pluck ear hair on was poodles and poo mixes. I don't think Otis has hair in his ears, I guess I'd better check.
