Ok, hopefully someone else here has this problem. I have a 1 year old Fila Brasiliero, (a rare type of mastiff) and since he was about 12 weeks he has had problems with bad ear infections. I've taken him countless times to the vet, they give him ooze for the ear, I cant remember what it was called, but anyways the medicine works but as soon as its all gone, the infection is back within 2 weeks. The vet even tried combining pills with the ooze and once again, as soon as he's off it, it comes back. I know that fila's need a high quaility diet, so he gets switched every 2 months between orijin and innova EVO red. I have tried switching to other brands i've tried Arcana and chicken soup as well. And the ears always go back to how they were in about 2 weeks with no meds. And it's only the left ear, never had a problem with the right. Does anyone have any advice on something else that can be done? Is it something i'm doing perhaps? I mean I clean his ears maybe once a week, I figured that since his ears are so huge moisture was getting trapped and causing problems, but nothing, and I mean nothing I do helps .... so any advice at all would be greatly welcomed.
thank you !!
