Can garlic cure yeast infection in dogs ears?
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.

Can you give Doxycycline for ear infections yeast in dogs?
First, antibiotics do NOT treat yeast! In fact, antibiotics can CAUSE yeast infections! Yeast overgrowth that shows up as ear infections, goopy ears, stinky skin, etc. is caused by too many carbohydrates, grains, fillers in a dog's diet. You can treat the symptoms with medications but unless you make changes to the diet, this will continue to be an issue. It is also caused by use or misuse of antibiotics-- dogs are like children; you should not treat or give meds without a vet telling you to do so. Carbs/grains are converted to sugar in the body and yeast's favorite food is sugar! So, eliminate the carbs, grains, fillers. Add a high quality supplement that contains things to build the immune system (to fight the yeast) and give it time. Your dog can actually get through the yeast overgrowth on his own if given the right tools. See Related Links for a great article that gives more details about candida yeast in dogs.
