I have tried a number of different foods and have found that a dog food that has fish as the source of protein and no wheat or corn works wonders. Although some will say purina dog foods are crap, my dog has done well on Purina proplan and proplan selects with salmon and brown rice. Both have salmon as the protein source and no wheat or corn, but you will just have to use trial and error because some of the high dollar dog foods did not help my pet. I could have continued to give him shots of steroids or benedryl for his allergies, but he has very few flare ups since he has been on proplan.

The ears may be an infection or ear mites. It sounds like your dog may have a food allergy, but in a weakened immunity is susceptible to other things. Medicine like steroids or benedryl can help allergy but doesn't cure it. I had to go all grain free for my dog. Vets exam can top any advise that we give you.

I was worried because he kept rubbing his eyes and ears on things and trying to scratch them with his paws. Anyways, the vet seemed confident it was allergies and prescribed him an allergy medicine and it all cleared up very quickly. Its good you are taking him to the vet, but I wouldn't be too worried about it!!! PS-Wellness is a great food and I am sure that will contribute to him feeling better!!

A lot of dogs get this in their ears and it also will drain out by their eye, causing tear stains. Your vet can usually tell if it is a yeast infection by the smell, and can give you an antibiotic and/or ointment for the infection. Also, this can be caused by food allergies, so you may want to change his food. Dog food with corn is a big culprit because a lot of dogs are allergic to it. It may be a yeast infection.
