Ear infections
For those of you out there who may have...or are experiencing chronic ear infections with your hunting buddys, concider this....most vets will treat with antibiotics (per occurrence) and that is correct. You as the dog owner know whether this is a chronic problem or not. If ear infections keep coming back...your problem may be, infact, a food allergy that leads to infection. I have seen four dogs now that had this condition as a " chronic" problem, cleared up for good by changing to a true " premium" dog food such as Black Gold or Diamond dog food. I can' t say for sure what is in other foods that cause these occurrences except possibly whole corn or preservatives. The dogs I speak of suffered with these infections on and off for over three years. Within 3-weeks of changing the food, the symptoms completely went away and have not reappeared. (months later). Just something to think about should you be having this trouble.
