Jaxson and his ears

Took Jaxson to the Doc today as his ears were itching. Jaxson told me so. Also had a funky oder. We learned he had a yeast infection and is on meds for 1 month. Not that big of a deal except the fact when we took him to the vet almost a year ago, he was 87lbs. Today he is a healthy 105lbs. YIKES!!!

I'm sure the vet mentioned the ears may be an indication of food allergies......maybe too much grain or a specific grain? If Jaxs is also a bit too "fluffy" he might do better with a different food.

Otherwise, wishing the guy clean and happy ears in the near future.
Yes. Doc did mention that and coincedentally we did just swtich his food about 2 weeks ago therefore the problem. Thank you.
Poor Jaxson. Ear infections are no fun. Unfortunately I think this breed is prone to them. We are vigilant with ears. Clean once a week and after each grooming throw a few drops in and use some corn starch along the inner flaps. Hope he feels better soon.

Is he chunky or just a big boy? My boy is 108 but he is big boned and doesn't look fat. My gal is 80 pounds and looks like a little chubber! of course, one hair cut and she is thin again. Wish I could say the same for myself! LOL!
Just "tweezed" Sprocket's ears for him-they had got a bit fluffed up-he lets me know by rubbing ears on my knee. He sits there is a vey strange look on his face as I gently clean and tweezer pull out a couple heairs to clear airways-he goes into a trance! So far no nasty infections prevention easier than cure if possible.x
Ashley, he is not chubby at all. Just a big boy with itchy ears.lol. Thanks for the tips.
He is huge Scott!!! You should bring him to Somerville to beat up my pups.
Jaxson is just under height and retaining fluids :) :hearts:
