My two Beagles had one ear infection after another. Over and over again I would take them to the vet, who would give me meds that they fought me when I tried to give it to them. During one brief period when they both were without ear infections, my DH and I went on a short vacation. I told the kennel owner about the ear infections and she said feed them a large tablespoon of yogurt with every meal. That was four years ago and Cosmo and Kato have been free of ear infections since then. And they love when I give them flavored yogurt...although they gobble up plain yogurt also. Belles
