What are some home remedys for yeast infection in dogs?
My dog keeps getting yeast infections around her eyes and in her ears. I have taken her to the vet plenty of times. She is five years old, German Shepherd. It is costing me too much money. It cost me about $300 worth of medicine. I have taken her about four times. Once she has the medicine she is good for a couple months then it comes back again. What home remedies can I use to make it go away again and how can I make it stay away? It is a yeast infection. My aunt is a dog groomer, she said some breeds will catch stuff and it is hard to get rid of.

Change the dogs diet - either to a high quality no additive grain-free kibble or better still feed a raw diet.
The yeast infection is a symptom of a deeper problem.

YOGURT!
Give her a heaping tablespoon of PLAIN, unflavored yogurt daily. It must be plain because flavored yogurts tend to have diet sugars which are bad for dogs. Also, be sure your dog doesn't get real sugar either because sugar promotes yeast growth.
Has your vet prescribed antibiotics in all your visits? Antibiotics promote yeast growth as well because it kills general bacteria, which includes healthy bacteria that keeps yeast growth under control.

my dog used to have problems with yeast infections ... i switched her to a salmon-based limited ingredient grain-free diet (natural balance) and i added raw organic apple cider vinegar to her morning kibble daily ... after that she had no more problems for the rest of her life ... you should google the benefits of organic apple cider vinegar ...
