Similar to how women can get a yeast infection after finishing a dose of antibiotics could my dog have developed a yeast infection in his ear because of the antibiotics?

Yes, antibiotics kill the good bacteria as well as the bad and allow the yeast to flourish.

If your dog is on antibiotics you should be at least giving him some yogurt.

I think my dog may have a yeast infection or bacterial infection between his toes. He constantly chews at his paws, causing them to become extremely sore. Is there an over the counter remedy for this problem?

Go to the drug store and buy some " Bag Balm ". It comes in a small green can and works wonders. I use it for my pets and myself for any skin irritation. Read the can, it was originally made for farm animals. Love that stuff.

We took our dog to the vet last week to find out she has a yeast infection. It smells so bad it is almost untolerable. (the smell seems to be mostly coming from her mouth but her years and anus/vagina smell bad too. The vet didnt prescribe her anything but said she needed to loose weight (Is this a load of crap? I didnt know a dogs weight influenced yeast infections..) anyway … if anyone knows the fastest way to get rid of this infection please let me know.

Plain,unsweetened yogurt,AZO Yeast Tablets ( these are made for women,but are safe for a dog) and put Monistat or an athletes foot powder all over her,just make sure it contains Miconazole,2%.Also,I cannot believe that the vet wouldn’t give you at least an antifungal shampoo.There is a good one called Malaseb,I would ask the vet for some.My cousin’s Golden had this,and finally got rid of it after two years,with Ketoconazole,which is an oral antifungal.Get some Panalog from your vet to put in her ears,but I don’t know about her mouth;I’ve never heard of a yeast infection causing bad breath.And,is she spayed? If she has a bad odor or discharge coming from her vagina and she isn’t spayed,it could be pyometra,an infection of the uterus,which is fatal if not treated. Good luck.

I think my dog may have an intestnal yeast infection when he did #2 today it looked like a long slime or jelly looking stuff. Is there anything i can give him for this?

Your dog may have some sort of parasites or he may have eaten something that upset his digestion. Make sure your dog is not acting in any unusual way. Watch him and if he has any other symptoms or does not seem to be acting "himself", then call the vet. Sometimes a dog will get into the trash, eat something he should not have eaten, and then have upset digestion. You need to watch for:
-not eating normally
-not defacating normally
-apparant pain
-acting tired or lethargic, inactivity
-not drinking water
-any other odd behavior
The real source for the health of your dog is your vet. Even if these things are not apparant, you might be wise to just call your vet to see what they think. Please always take a dog to the vet if there is any vomiting, because this can cause problems very quickly. Call the vet and ask their opinion. That is what they went to school for.

My dog, a Golden Retriever, has what it seems to be a bad case of yeast infection in both ears (not the first time). I have read that I should change his food etc. but first I need to clear his infection. I have been to the vet several times about this in the past and paid expensive medicines that seems to work just for short period of time. A co-worker suggested to use over-the-counter medicine to treat vaginal yeast infection. Does anyone has any experiense/comment/thought about this?

My husky developed some kind of rash on her ears too. They looked like flaky spots and would turn red and bleed a little if you scratched them.
I figure that it was some kind of fungus eating the skin.
I sprayed Tinactin (for athlete’s foot) on the ears (On the affected area only, NOT inside the ear-canal).
I cured it on one application. Her ears are very healthy now.
My dog’s ears are a little hairy on the inside and that helped to keep the Tinactin solution on the spots.
What DaveSFV says on the previous answer makes sense if you give your dog some kind of internal medication for humans, something that the dog has to ingest, but in this case you are using a cream or liquid that has the same ingredients as many dog’s medication. You can go to the store and compare ingredients on both medications. It is the same fungus that eat human and animal skin.

My daughter, this summer, got thrush in her mouth. It went through her GI tract and she developed a yeasty diaper rash. (It has been treated and she fully recovered.) What I’m wondering, though, is how she got it. She was never on any antibiotics. A dog she played with, however, had a nasty ear infection which the vet identified as yeast. We didn’t realize he had the ear infection right away.

If she, for example, stuck her fingers on the underside of his ears, then put them in her mouth, could that cause thrush?

It is possible. Sticking their fingers in something then in their mouth is the easiest way kids pick up something.
