Possible ear and skin yeast infectionQ: I have a 5 year old cocker and he constatly chews and itches at his skin. i know cockers can develope yeast infections in their ears easily. is it possible that he has spread his yeast infection to his skin by scratching at his ears, then scratching his skin. i want to relieve his itching but i dont have a lot of money right now to be taking him to the vet so they can tell me what i allready know. is there anything that you could recomend or any medications that i could purchase to help him out. thank-you, clay A: Only thing i can suggest is to shampoo skin with antifungal shampoo such as ketachlor shampoo from 1800petmeds every few days as well as giving oral benadryl at dose of 1/2 to 1 mg per pound orally twice daily to see if helps with allergies. also try adding prozyme and brite coat xs to food which can also help long term as well as try low allergy natural diet like california natural lamb and rice diet by natura brand which is good for this breed long term really needs vet visit which is necessary to diagnose yeast
