I can relate to your story. Have a similar situation here. I imagine there is an infection in the ear now. The food was a good start, for sure. You may have to go one or two rounds of antitbiotics to beat the current infection and then the food change may help prevent future infections.

Hello all
Looking for a some advice.
We have 2 boxers, f that's going to be four yrs old and a m that's going to be 8mo.
My f itchy ears and I'm always catching her scratching them. I had a m who was taken too soon from brain cancer, but he to scratched his ears. When we took him to the vet he prescribed ear drops. He passed away months later as the cancer had advanced. Anyway it got to a point my f developed scabbs on the tips of her ears. So we did some research and found dogs can develop skin allergies from the garbage that's put in dog food, so we switched their food from Dog Chow to Natural balance limited ingredients. Well I must say that her scabs on her ears went away immediately and the scratching also slowed but in the later in the afternoon and through out the night she is still scratching just not as much. We even switched there treats to natural balance.
Does anyone know what we could do to help her w/o having to go to the vet and getting antibiotic ear drops given, we would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you
Ryan and Vanessa
