Best Answer

Yeast is a fungus. The ointment/creams you get from the vet contain anti-fungal medications. Because the dog's ear can trap moisture, it is a great environment for yeast or bacteria to grow out of control. If the infection keeps recurring, you may be treating the wrong organism. Your vet can check this with a microscope. The other key is to keep the ear free from moisture and debris once the infection is cured. Clean the ears with a cleaner specifically for dogs' ears 1-2 times weekly. Garlic can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal system, which can lead to red blood cell damage. Giving small amounts occasionally, such as what might be found in pet foods or treats, likely will not cause a problem, but you should not give your pet large quantities of garlic.
