Any Q

Ear infections caused by yeast are more common in dogs with floppy ears, like cocker spaniels, basset hounds, golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, and poodles. Some breeds which have hair growing in the inner ear canal, like Schnauzers, are also more susceptible to yeast infection.


Are Labradors prone to ear infections?

Because of the labrador ear shape, they are more prone to ear infections and yeast. Prevention is the most effective way to stop labrador ear infection. When you notice your dog showing any early signs of an ear infection, you should take him to the vet as soon as possible.

Why do labs always get ear infections?

Dogs usually develop ear infections due to yeast or bacteria. These microorganisms live in the ears and on the skin of mammals and normally do not cause problems. A normal ear canal is actually very resistant to infection, so something has to 'go wrong' for infection to develop.
