Question:
My dog, a 22-pound mutt, had many ear infections until I tried a suggestion offered by a friend's vet, which has totally cleared up the ear infections. He suggested we give our dog a 4-ounce cup of YoBaby yogurt daily. That was a bit expensive for us, so we switched to a 24-ounce size of vanilla yogurt offered by our local Publix supermarket, giving the dog one 4-ounce cup twice a week, Wednesday and Saturday. That was the cure! A larger dog might need the 4-ounce cup more often, but experimentation would be necessary. Tell your readers this really works; it did for our friend, too.

Answer:
Thanks for confirming one of my favorite remedies for many conditions. But skip the vanilla with sugar. Plain nonpasteurized yogurt full of beneficial probiotic bacteria is a cure for many ills.
