I am new to this group, I've actually been checking you out for nearly a week and I am hopeful someone here can help me and get me on the right track.

I have two labrador retrievers, they are 1/2 brother/sister. My male is pushy and pesty but you gotta love him!

My female, Sabrina, is a wonderful girl who gets herself in to all sorts of messes.

Here is our first and most pressing issue. Sabrina has allergies. She was serum tested and is allergic to grass (6 kinds), evergreen trees, most trees that lose their leaves including maple and oak, cat dander, dust mites, molds....many molds and the same molds I'm allergic to coincidentally......

Her allergies manifest themselves with ear issues that turn into yeast infections. There's the history here are the current issues.

She started a few days ago again with the tremendous head shaking. I treated her with the otomax from the vet with no resolution and little relief. I have washed her, toweled her face on multiple occasions, washed all of the bed linnens, washed their blankets, cleaned their room to within an inch of it's life (using Simple Green which she doens't seem to have a problem with). I hesitate....no I HESITATE to use the ear cleaning products from the vet. They seem to escallate her situation into unberable requiring aspirin and prednisone just to calm her down! She is getting worse not better. I hate to keep filling her up with antihystamines but that seems to be the only thing that is giving her short term relief.

Her ears are red. They smell....um....like ears with a hit of yeast which makes me upset for her. I swear she'd rather I pull her nails out whole than play with her ears, especially the left one.....

I'm armed and ready to go to the nature store......I'm ready to switch their diets over......but I need to start with the immediate ear issue.

Anyone..... I'm at my wits end! I feel like a bad dog mommie. I just don't know what else to do for her.
