I have a beautiful, 4 year old, lhasa apso named Ben. We take extremely good care of him. He goes to the vet regularly, is bathed, teeth brushed, and ears cleaned once a week, goes to the groomers every 6-8 weeks, and gets tons of love. However, his ears stink very bad! He has had several ear infections since he was a puppy. We clean his ears weekly, but he seems to have continual itching. If you rub at his ears, he tilts his head and sort of moans like it feels good for someone to rub it. I'm not sure what the problem is. We clean them with a special natural cleaner, so it isn't like there is a lot of wax buildup. Could it be yeast in his ear? If so, what can be used to clear that up? Is it safe to use something like hydrogen peroxide or would that be no help? I'm just not sure exactly what to do. The vet hasn't been able to suggest anything other than giving me antibiotic drops when it seems to bother him the worst, but I hate to use them continually. Any suggestions that anyone would be able to offer would be so appreciated. Ben & I thank you in advance!
