I've discussed the ears with the vet almost every time I go. all of the
vets at the practice (I've seen at least 4 different ones) say not to
worry about it and just make sure I do my best to keep the ears clean and
dry. I mentioned allergies and the vet didn't agree it looked like
"allergy ears".

At our practice, when we have stubborn ear problems that puzzle everyone
in the long run, we put the dog on Hills Z/D (for food allergies) and they
clear within a month. Not trying to do harsh promotion, just stating what
has worked for us (our dog included).


I mentioned trying that diet for Maui and the vet said no, it wouldn't work.
He doesn't appear to have allergies. I am going to call tomorrow and ask
again. Maybe they can swab the ears and check under the scope again (for
the fourth time).

At least consider food allergy if nothing else has worked. Most
importantly, follow the other advice here and get that gunk smeared and
looked at. Your OTC products may be adding to the problem, not managing it
(much less curing it).

Get this under control before your trip to the beach (coming up soon, eh?)
