    Yeast infections can be a real pain. Does your dog have any other health issues? Has your vet recommended a shampoo or spray? Sometimes you can buy treatments with the same ingredients more cheaply off prescription, and your vet may be willing to help you with that if you have a chat with them

    Some times they go with food allergies. It is something to talk to your vet about. Tilly has yeast and bacteria issues with her ears, which has been an on going battle. We have never been able to pin down a cause, but just treat as needed.

    Sorry to hear that he's been struggling with all these health problems :( We do have an article on dog skin yeast infections that you might find helpful: Dog Skin Yeast Infections. I really hope that this gets cleared up once and for all for you and him soon.
