Black guck in ears is usually a yeast infection caused by grains and/or chicken in dog food. Titan has chronic ear infections and he is fed raw diet. I can't see the pic very well, I tried to resize it but it's blurry. What the name of the food or can you get a better pic?

It could be the potato or the cranberry and apple or combination of all 3 ingredients which could be causing the yeast infection because potato/fruit are carbs which turns to sugar which sugar causes yeast infections.

I know that sounds like a stretch but carbs = sugar doesn't help with yeast infections. Did the vet confirm yeast infection?

 

[glen]

Yes been confirmed.Iv got you confused the ingredients are from the food we are thinking to try.The food hes on now is eden its been great but it has got chicken in.iv seen others on the forum use fish based food so was wondering how this one rated.thanks

Oh, ok. The Arden Grange might be ok but again as I mentioned, the potato and fruit could cause the yeast infections to continue. Overall, Arden Grange is a pretty good food.
