Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I used to sell dog food and it is terrible for the little guys. Too much corn and meat by products. Especially Science Diet. They fund the vet schools so they recommend it but it is lots of corn and expensive at that. Science diet does have good prescription brands for dogs needing special diets but of the bunch I would feed them Nutro. It seems to clear up skin problems.The initial problems may have been mites in the shepherd ndicated by the scratching and then infecting the ears. Lots of things could be the problem with the ears.Yeast infections, staph, bacterial , ticks,etc.each has its own symtoms.I have to shave all around my cocker spaniel's ears to keep them aired out and then he seems to do better but shepherd's ears stick straight up so they get things in them more!
